[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9132939, member: 27385"] I guess the main thing players can expect from DMs is that they are fair. If a rule is made one time or one night, then it should stand the next. Sometimes a rule is made on the spot and the DM can always come back and say they thought about it or posted to ENWorld and received some feedback and now the rule is X, but generally fair in rulings. Being open and honest is generally a way to build trust in that the players need to trust the DM to make things fun or entertaining or both. The DM now has the responsibility to not steal things from the house or even punish the PCs unless there is a reason. Same for things such as giving out inspiration and not just to the person you secretly like. Having this trust also means that you can cheat or not cheat with things like dice rolls or monster HP and powers. There are several other threads on this without taking from this thread. [/QUOTE]
