[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9087895, member: 6684958"] I'll say it. It's very common for Young, Inexperienced, or "fan of the characters"/"Best Buddy" Type GMs. And it's just about the definition of the Casual DM:They want to sit back and have the Players do most,nearly all the "work". I'd also add the other big part here: Altering Game Reality. In the first game, where "everyone is a player, but one player is called a GM sometimes" is all about Altering the Game Reality. Each player, by using some game rule and dice, can Alter the Reality of the game. While the Player called GM, just sits back and watches with awe. Once the player is finished, they giver the GM permission to do things in support of the games new reality. The Player called GM, in awe, does this quite willing(with the secret hope that someone will do it for them in the next game when they get to be a Player Player). The traditional, classic game, the player can never ever alter game reality: they can only effect change by the actions of a single fictional character in the game world...with all the reality limitation of that single character. This is the big change from the one above. [/QUOTE]
