[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4331781, member: 48965"] IMHO, you are dancing around the truth of the matter...regardless of what reason the DM chooses for deciding something...he still decides it, thus he has narrative control of the world (whether within actual play or outside of it). Again, unless you're a mind reader you have no way of determining why your particular DM made a certain decision. You can argue against it...but eventually either you or he will be right and will have exerted narrative control over how the world works. And again you gloss over the issue of the world in pre-play coming from the desires of the DM. As an admittedly far fetched example, taking a nod from Moorcock, let's say your DM's campaign is set upon a plane of chaos...how do you all then determine the implied rule of being true to the world? The DM does just like in any other setting. It is his interpretation of the worlds truth, not some abstract truth of the world, that guides and dictates what happens. If his interpretation is wrong the world won't correct him. [/QUOTE]
