[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6401166, member: 67338"] so maybe I'm miss reading this, but what your saying is that there are some things you so strongly feel (Example Dragonborn PC in your current world) that you could not change them, but you could play under a DM that would. Well would you be willing to tell a PC that they can play a Dragonborn next time because your next world WILL have them, just play something different for now? or are all of your worlds the same when it comes to this split of pc/npc? DO you understand why some people can't play under DMs like you? I'm somewhere in the middle of the road. I make games with heavy restrictions that I wont waver on, but I always have a few in the wings so that I can match the world to the Players. I also take requests. For instiance I once made a whole world around the fact that 1 PC wanted to be a starlock and another wanted to be a warden. I also know there are something's some players can't take. When I pitched my darksun game to both groups I found the Tuesday night group would be a problem. One of the players from both Saturday and Tuesday immediately pitched an idea for a runepriest who is seeking ancient runes, and another player (one who only plays Tuesdays) said he didn't want to have divine classes or it would not seem like darksun. After 15-20 mins going back and forth I just wont run that game, we will find one that works for all of us. now at first I was with one side on this thread, but I have to say you all paint each other in such negative lights [/QUOTE]
