[QUOTE="Dausuul, post: 5444808, member: 58197"] Exactly. Anybody who wants to show up on game day and play whatever's on offer is welcome to do so... but anybody who wants a say in the building of the campaign world had damn well better speak up before it's done being built. You snooze, you lose. Obviously, you should announce the fact when approaching a "Speak now or forever hold your peace" moment. But when the moment is past, those who didn't speak have no complaint coming. A bit off topic, but I strongly disagree with this. It's a popular myth that all wallflowers want to be drawn out and made to open up and participate. Sometimes that's true, but many times the wallflower is happy to be a wallflower and will be uncomfortable getting dragged into the spotlight. In this particular situation, a lot of players are the "show up on game day and play what's on offer" type, and that's perfectly fine. It's good to invite people to participate (to whatever extent you're comfortable with them participating--set whatever boundaries you need to in order to make sure you're happy with your campaign world), but if they aren't interested, don't push it.
