[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 6960103, member: 29398"] Whereas I'm far more likely to give a decent hearing to something a player came up with on his own for one simple reason: that player is thinking in terms of this campaign, this setting, this (or these) character(s), right now - meaning his ideas are more likely to be designed to suit it than something that came out of a book thought up by Author X in Game Y with no reference at all to the game I'm running here and now. Never mind I'd prefer to encourage original independent thinking and inventiveness among the players. :) Lan-"and the DM should be in control of the game, much like the referee is in control of a hockey game"-efan [/QUOTE]
