[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 4589740, member: 463"] If that means the GM is expected to accommodate whatever play style the players want, then I disagree. I can run a wandering bandits game, or a loyal knights of the crown game, possibly a thieves' guild or apprentice wizards game. I can run a territory development game, or a political intrigue game, possibly a pirates game. Possibly a mining game. I can run a police/investigation game. I can run a rebels vs authority game. I can't effectively run a bakery game, or a farming game, unless the farm is on the frontier - territory development on a smaller scale. I don't want to run a game where the PCs run a small business in a city. That just doesn't interest me. Edit: OTOH it's fine for the PC adventurers to own a small business, as long as they still go adventuring! Maybe the players want an island of stability in a chaotic setting. In that case I would be reluctant to threaten the business, I'd let it tick along nicely while the PCs continued dungeon-delving. [/QUOTE]
