[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6406308, member: 9037"] No that is not my example boiled down my exampe boiled down is not wanting something in a game that does not fit the thematic nature of the game iE gunpower. Secondly how is it teaching a novice DM to DM if you just dump a lot of extra classes and powergames on them? That would be like telling someone who has never baked a cake before that the first cake you are going to build is an elaborate specialty wedding cake with a lot of fondant and specialized decorations. When my roommate became a cake decorator she took all the Wilton cake decorating classes they started with the basics and built on that. That was what she was trying to do start with the basics and learn how to DM from doing that and then build on what she learned. As she got experience show would have been in a better position to add things and allow more things. That was her goal and I don't think it wa poorly thought out goal. Because K had shown in the last game she DM and unwillingness to not to bring in broken PCs and then when she had issues trying to balance the encounters for everyone at the table he was not understanding at all. K has never been good with the whole yes I will let you bring this in but we might need to revisit it down the line. Again no one is saying that a player most certainly can refuse to play. That is there option just as it is the DM option to say no I don't have an interested in running a fantasy game with gun powder in it. And it does not surprise me that you agree with K since you sound very much like him. [/QUOTE]
