[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9084699, member: 6790260"] And the DM is privy to that info solely because [I]the DM invented that info[/I]. That is exactly what this is. The DM is inventing what they feel like inventing. That's what DMs [I]do[/I] in this paradigm. They invent what interests them. So "DM is privy to more info than the players" [I]is in fact[/I] equivalent to "the DM has said so." Because the one, and only, reason the DM is privy to more info...is because they [I]invented[/I] that info. The real irony is, the one time this actually applied to TTRPG stuff, it wasn't the DM, it was one of the players. He was a complete jerk and almost certainly drove that (first-time!) DM away from ever attempting DMing, or at least from doing so for a long, long time thereafter. Usually this sort of thing happens in more "let's go do an X" things, or with long-time friends who REALLY love a particular game/activity that I just don't like, but which I have to play if I want to spend time with them. Well, past tense; I intentionally let those friendships die out because of...other issues. [/QUOTE]
