[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 7656619, member: 67338"] is it really [I]anything[/I] though? How far do you push those changes... there is a line between Playing in a DCU game, playing in a hombrew alt DCU game, playing in a superhero game based on/with stolen things from DCU and just homebrew with flavor of DCU... and you and your players (lets say 1 DM 4 players) have 5 different points where those lines are... open communication is best, and frankly everyone has a pushing point... I know with my group it is flash/Green lantern... if I just say DCU one player thinks wally and kyle, another thinks barry and hal... its a minor thing but something I would say up front... if there is a DCU game with no Green lantern Corp, and no superman/clark kent, no daily planet, no gotham no matrapolis, no green arrow, no flash... where is the line (that actual sounds like a game I pitched is the funniest part... where Bruce Wayne multi billionaire was a good lex luther type and batman was jean paul valley) the problem is that accepting an alt canon is not the same for everyone... so again know your players... yup same here... but I've been called a bully on these boards for that... "Because that is like an ultimatum... run it the way I have fun or loose a player" I agree, but since we weren't there maybe a bit of laughter and an "Opps, just go with it" from the DM would have been fine... maybe the DM started the fight... or maybe the player was crazy... I only have that Hussar's word he was in the wrong, and no details... I think we get hung up on details (or in this case lack there of) the basic antodat was "A player raised an objection, and the DM didn't want to hear it. A fight broke out, and the DM years later says he wished he had handled it differently." I bet so too. Just like "The titan tower is on the west coast" "No it's on the east coast" is stuipid in hindsight... I'm sure it was important to us both at the time (enough so we both brought books to the next game. yea, but again... everyone has a different threshold...
