[QUOTE="Morose, post: 262138, member: 3036"] First of all, nothing I say should be mistaken for wisdom. It's an opinion. In some cases its an educated one and in others completely biased as most opinions are wont to be. Opinions vary and no one is "right". Hence the reason discussion boards exist. As for my use of "lazy" to describe a DM, I apologize if it was misunderstood. While very few DMs are lazy as such (it takes quite a bit of effort to put together any campaign... even a bad one ;) ), I find that using cliches and relying on stereotypes to drive the plot *is* lazy when compared to the works of more creative individuals. Even the most hackneyed of campaigns still takes more work than most players are willing to invest (which is sad, and an entirely different topic worth discussion), but that was what I meant by "lazy". Furn_Darkside: if you disagree with my statement, then why not post a counter argument? "You hurt my feelings" or "Stop attacking me" doesn't hold much water with me. You obviously favor a superheroic style of game or you wouldn't have felt like I was attacking you. Why do you feel that "saving the world" is a necessary element to a campaign? I'll stand by my *opinion* until I'm presented with a reason to think otherwise. Of course I'll understand completely if you dimiss me since we hold opposite views and you might not deem me worth your time to debate. No hard feelings on my part as I understand the need to pick your battles. :) [/QUOTE]
