[QUOTE="Hitokiri, post: 2749594, member: 26469"] Well, while I can see where the idea of not wanting the GM totally dictate the game, I do think it is the GM's prerogative to decide on a campaign style/world. why should I, as a GM, be required to run a game I don't like anymore than a player play in a game that doesn't suit them. Don't forget, the GM should be having fun too, and letting the players dictate the game is just as bad as letting the GM make all the calls. Now, once I've decided what type of game I'd like to run as a GM, I make sure that all of my players know exactly what the game is going to be like. I lay out, when I invite someone to the game, exactly what I am expecting out of the campaign. Is it a gritty realistic game or epic high fantasy? What type of power curve are we talking about. Roleplaying or roll playing? What house rules, if any, are being used. I do my best to share how I envision the game being played and then ask that only those that would enjoy such a game join it. This way, when we start playing, everyone is on the same page and knows what to expect from the game. [/QUOTE]
