When in Rome and all... Control over scheduling should be determined by consensus, but a group can play down one or more players, they can't play down the DM. Control over the in-game space should also be determined by consensus, with the caveat that the players recognize that the person DM'ing in doing the lion' share of the work, and make the appropriate accommodations (the game is about mutual accommodation). DM'ing is a lot like hosting a party. You try to ensure that everyone has a good time, in the manner of their choosing (don't push drinks on teetotalers or dancing on white men) . But you hope your guests realize that it's a hell of lot easier to get dressed up and go to a party than it is to throw one.</blockquote>
