[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5540108, member: 18701"] Tell us [B]ONE[/B] (and [B]only[/B] one) thing that you think is the most important thing to remember, consider, or do when DMing. Do not be vague about your answer either. If anyone replies with something like, "to have fun mate!" I'm going to have my brother jog (he's broke and has no car) to your house and break your thumbs. I'm just curious to know what is most important to people from the DM side of things. Don't get carried away though; I only care to hear one thing from you. I don't need a list of everything you find important because anything after #1 will most likely be extremely boring to read about. But please, elaborate on that one thing in as much detail as you can. For me, I'd say it has to be to make sure my players are having fun, mate. (There, for those of you that couldn't wait to respond just so you could say it and be funny, I stole your thunder. This includes the "well, to have fu.....oh wait" replies. Anything remotely similar to this response will only make you look like a fool. I know it sucks, but you'll just have to come up with some other way to be witty.) [/QUOTE]
