I think that a DM's world should please both players and DM, but I'd lean a little more towards the players. After all, they aren't the ones with the control. If a DM then wants to introduce a favorite culture or plot device, that's easy for him to do while giving PCs a change to avoid it -- but you need player trust and buy-in to really make your world sing. That's hard to get if they aren't interested in the initial setting.</blockquote>
