[QUOTE="outsider, post: 7169394, member: 54690"] Yep, that's what I like about D&D. I'm a programmer by trade. There's nothing I enjoy more than taking a bunch of numbers, variables, equations, and formulas, and creating something with them. There's a certain beauty to it, and I consider it a form of art. As a result, I tend to know the rules of whatever edition I'm playing like the back of my hand(not the case for 5e yet though). When the DM is empowered greatly over the rules, I feel as though the tools the game gives me to express myself are being taken from me, and it instead becomes a social game of trying to convince the DM to allow me to do things. Even if the DM always says yes to me, it's just not very satisfying to me. The above paragraph seems a little more dramatic than I intend, but I think the basic points are there and I'm too hung over to go back and retype it. :P [/QUOTE]
