Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardcoreDandDGirl" data-source="post: 6399821" data-attributes="member: 82746">but when one person (on either side of the DM screen) says "Can we talk about it" and the other side says "No my way or the highway" I don't understand how it matters whitch side of the screen your on.I see it very differently, the DM is just another player of the game, and as such is no more or less entitled to anything. He has final say of rules when there is a despute, but the social contract means he has to at least try to hear out the other players. He is also not supposed to try to force anything anywhere...again it seems odd to me that every world you run is the same, and no one could ever pitch you an idea to run a slightly different style... I still don't get this... I'm not seeing talking about "Hey I have this fun idea for your game" to be "Making a deal out of it" especially when it is just something as small as a race...again with this "No discussion" "My way or the highway" thinking that seems to fit your "whiny, self important, and entitled" lable then the player that just wants to talk about it... That is CRAZY BONKERS.... of course the DM can be questioned... the Title of DM isn't some god given infallible perfect title... it is just the girl or guy sitting across the table from me.  Why can't everyone question him, and heck maybe even show him a new way to look at something...   you would rather everyone let everything build up until they walk then question the judgment of there DM... not even just you as a DM, but in general you feel that ANY DM anywhere and time can only be "voted with there feet" not just "Hey I disagree with x because of Y"I feel like I'm in the twilight zone here...  I have 0 problem with the DM making minor adjustments to my PC... but I have a big problem with them basicly laying out a set of rules and if you dare question them even a little being labled entitled...  there is 0 room in your thought here for a discussion at all. It is if you disagree with the DM you walk away or sit there and put up with it until you walk away... what about the idea that maybe you could talk to the DM and share your thoughts and then maybe work out something... maybe even the DM might learn to like something new... or not, the option to walk should be a last resort... but not the only...Are DMs so insecure that they can not even consider there might be a different way then there's?</blockquote>
