[QUOTE="Queen_Dopplepopolis, post: 2706209, member: 14323"] I've experienced gamers that need rules and gamers that don't need rules... for the most part, the need for rules arose from inherent differences in play-style that at one time seemed fun, but quickly became tiring, over-dramatic, and insanely exhaustive. The players simply became obsessed with the drama to the point of completely ignoring the rules and the DM. As such, the DM reacted by attempting to dictate appropriate and inappropriate activity/action at the game table to avoid in-game conflicts that were spilling over into real life... *sighs* Alas, it didn't work out and many of the players in that game opted to leave the game. My current group is full of friends that enjoy playing the game for the sake of playing the game. We respect each other and just have fun while we roll the dice. We've got some general table rules, but for the most part, we're all old friends that have an understanding of the inner workings of each other and of the game. Our play-styles, while different, compliment each other quite nicely and - as such - sort of negates the previous need for a solid rule-set. :D [/QUOTE]
