[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 535308, member: 2829"] See, that's just the thing. If the DM is a crappy DM, then being in his game most certainly is not a privilege...it's a nightmare. It doesn't really matter how special the DM thinks his game is. If it sucks, it sucks. No two ways about it. The moral of the story here is not to suck. :D Yeah, it's kind of a two way street. I definately agree with you on that. Sometimes a ruling can have such a negative impact on the game that it simply must be contested on the spot. Hopefully, it won't take long. It has nothing to do with pride, or at least it shouldn't. Generally, it has to do with a terribly controversial and disruptive ruling. Then the DM shouldn't have a problem changing his ruling to benefit the quality of the game. Like I said, I agree that the quality of a game is a two way street, dependent upon both the DM and the players. However, the bottom line is that a DM is most certainly not [i]always[/i] right. Ever. To assert such a thing is arrogant, egotistical, and egomaniacal. A DM like that will have many short games. If he or she is lucky though, they might be able to find other players that are just as arrogant, egotistical, and egomaniacal as they are. By the way, for a DM to assert that he is always right displays that he or she is unwilling to let go of their own pride. Again, its a two way street. A humble DM is a good DM, grasshopper. :cool: [/QUOTE]
