[QUOTE="Belen, post: 2501197, member: 1405"] Fair? Nothing in life is fair or free. I think it takes a particular type of person to be a GM. That person must take enjoyment from providing it to others. I love to GM. I also like to make my players happy and hope that they have a good time. I am a firm believer in that a group needs to find a way to connect with one another on a personal level. If half the group wants a tabletop wargame with RP elements, and the other half want good roleplay with some fighting, then you cannot make any of the players happy. I learned this the hard way. I think that each group has their own alignment. A group that is NG will not mesh with a person who is CN etc. So you have to build a group that work effectively together. Also, as a GM, I do have a certain style. It is important to look for people who will have fun with the style of play. Will I modify my style to fit a player type? Depends on the player. D&D is a cooperative game. There is some amount of give an take. So, if everyone is willing to compromise, then great, but it does take compromise. Stream of thought concluded. [/QUOTE]
