For us, the DM is the alpha and the omega at the end of the day. The DM will determine who is invited, what the setting is, what houserules are in effect, where we play (or at least where they are willing to run their game), etc.The DM, as we see it, is the creator of the campaign and retains that power throughout. Now, that's not to say that those of us who DM do not elicit opinions from others before we make certain decisions. I have a very high level of respect for my players and I routinely will seek their advice and input in my design, but I will often times listen, then consider, then feel free to ignore if I want to go in a different direction.I'm not sure what you mean by "a game with more than one potential DM" in your final question. Do you mean a single campaign? Or are we talking about a circle of friends with more than one potential DM? As far as campaigns go we have a single DM; amongst my friends we have different DMs who all run their own campaigns, which we refer to as Soandso's Game.</blockquote>
