[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 6838770, member: 2629"] Arguments like these are 50 steps down the wrong path. Go back to the basics and start over: * A DM's job is to create a fun game for their players. If the setting or rules do not make players happy, a change is in order. The changes can be made to the campaign or to the membership of the group. If you have a group of 6 and one person doesn't like the way the game is played, then you can look for a way to tweak the situation to make everyone happy or you can let that person go find a game that meets their needs. * A player's job is to have fun playing their character in the setting and rules provided. The DM makes the rulings (often after suggestions by players) and the players should trust their DM and the calls the DM makes. As players, we will often think the DM's ruling is not the one we'd make. However, it is not our place to change the game they run. Master is in their title, not ours. We can endure a few things that are not run as we'd like them... and if we can't live with the rulings, we can look for other games. There should be no judgment if a player and DM can't find a setting and rule set that works for both of them - it happens. You can do other things with your friends if you can't play D&D together. D&D is a role playing game. Players play a role in the story. They are responsible for their character's desires and decisions - the DM is responsible for everything else. [/QUOTE]
