[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 7166877, member: 6778044"] I'm just confused on this whole "DM taint" thing. To start with, I think it's a useless term that implies something negative but doesn't really tell us anything. DM taint would be anything the DM touches. If he wrote it, it's tainted. For example, it makes me thing that if the DM wrote the adventure, then then entire things is dripping with filthy, stinky, rotten DM taint. How could you bear to play such a thing? Obviously I don't think that's what you think. So where is the line where it becomes DM taint? Why is everything on one side of that line OK, and everything on the other side not? It seems to me what you don't want, is the DM changing or adding anything once the game starts. The ideal approach to D&D for you seems to be like the old tournament modules. Where they were designed as a sort of competition, to see which group was the best that year. [/QUOTE]
