[QUOTE="AmorFati, post: 2557957, member: 33618"] Yes, I am definitely a player who likes to play with the DM rather than against him. I am myself a DM, and I know how frustrating it is when wills clash and there is no resolving it in "peacefull" terms. [start rant]As for what FX said about trust/lack of it, in PbP games, I tend to agree. However, the problem with PbP games are the way we communicate. Harsh words don't loose their edge, because you don't see the one typing it grinning friendly while typing. Misstrust between the characters often become confused with misstrust between the players, etc. When playing table-top, you have body language, tones, etc etc to take the edge of things, and this is often absent on forum games. I've lost players just because of this here on EnWorld a few times; bickering between characters have expanded to petty bickering between the players. Comments about minor things have started arguments, and afterwards it gets apparent that one player or the other forgot a smiley in one post, to take off the edge. Well, to sum my ranting up; I agree with FX, but often it leads to uncomfortable situations on forums, chats etc. [/end rant] About the Campaign: As previous mentioned, I am not all that familiar with Eberron.
