[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9281766, member: 6684958"] I'm not so sure...a lot is very extreme. Take horrible person Johnny. As a Casual Player he does not care about the game at all: he just want to hang out and get away from his wife for a couple hours. He will always be late by two to three hours. He almost never has is character sheet, dice or anything else. And it's rare for him to play the game for too much more then five minutes without making a huge disruption to "take a break". Take horrible person Bill. As a Casual DM he does not care that Johnny shows up three hours late and just gives him a high five when he comes in the door. As he does not care about the game he just has Johnny's character just "pop" in the game randomly. He is ready to let Johnny use anything he needs. And it's rare for him to play the game for too much more then five minutes without making a huge disruption to "take a break". Mix in three casual players...and you get a great time for all: they hang out for five hours....and kind of sort of "play" the game for a little less then thirty minutes. But everyone has fun. But just as this "perfect storm" game can exist, does say that Johnny and Bill are bad players and dms. As a Railroad Tycoon Baron myself......I'd still say the Classic Railroad Jerk DM that is the "default" everyone thinks of when they hear "Railroad" is still a Bad DM. [/QUOTE]
