[QUOTE="Astrosicebear, post: 5801691, member: 67017"] The DM has a story he wants to tell. The players want to partake in the game, not necessarily the story. So for most editions, the DM has a story he wants the players to be involved in, and the players dont know the main story, so they try to live in the world, and often go off in other directions, so the DM has to wrangle them back in. For the most part its DM story vs Player sidetracking. If the new edition gives DM's and players more tools to allow a common ground to be met, thats all the better. If the system itself promotes story, and the system itself wants players to activly partake in the story the DM is telling, and the system itself gives the DM more tools to tell that story without players derailing it, all the better I say. A good DM is great, but a Great DM can still be blindsided by players. A system that will allow any DM to say 'OK' more than 'NO' is great. [/QUOTE]
