[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6339142, member: 9037"] No I am not saying that your opinions are invalid and mine are valid. I have gone out of my way to not do that. Yes it is the DM table and it is right to do what he wants but I can have an opinion that he is wrong or being a jerk or whatever and choose not to play. Sorry I am not going to work to gain a DMs trust been there tried that and found it pointless because I have found that if they feel that strongly nothing I do will change their mind. So I will save us both the grief and choose not to play with him. And that is totally different than arguing with him to change his opinion. And it is showing respect when I choose to walk away I am showing respect to him by acknowledging his table his rules. As a DM I am upfront with players that I will fudge if I think it benefits the play and if that is an issue and you don't trust me to know when to do it or you don't like it then as a player you are not a good fit for my table and it is better that you find a DM more suited to you. That is what the crux that is being said here the freedom to choose not to play with someone who you think will not be a good fit. And one big warning sign to me is a DM with a lot of hates towards classes and races. Because in my experience that goes hand in hand with being rigid and uncompromising. I will be honest here if I meet a DM who has advertised looking for players for say 3E DnD then I meet him and he shows me a 600 page house rule booklet I am going to be annoyed because at that point you are not playing 3E DnD. I have meet DMs like that and I always ask why they just didn't advertise that they were looking for players to play in a game system that has been heavily modified. [/QUOTE]
