And I don't want to give the impression that the PCs can't change my world. I am not rigid nor do I railroad and I have no problem if the PCs bring about major changes in how things work by their actions. One of the joys of DMing is letting PCs lose in your world and watch what they do.That is not what I am talking about though when I say I would get angry if a player didn't like an aspect and demanded I change for no other reason than he didn't like it.I work with my players to make their characters fun. I do things in the setting to work with their backgrounds. I give them the ability to have a chance to accomplish the goals they have for their characters. But I don't just willy nilly change the setting to accomplish that I work with in the setting.If I was running a Kalamar game and the players wanted to take down the slavers there are in settings ways to accomplish this. There is a god that is against slavery and an organization called the Broken Chain. You don't have to make major changes to the setting to let the PCs have a chance at accomplishing their goals.As a player I enjoy working in the setting as presented to accomplish what I want for my character. That to me is the challenge and I would be hugely disappointed to learn that I accomplished my goals only because the DM changed the setting to allow this. In my roommate's setting nobles and royalty expect respect from the lower classes and they have all the power to punish the lower classes if they don't get it.Now your character believes all men are created equal. There doesn't have to be a conflict with the DM if you play it right.  If all you do to prove this is go around mouthing off to the nobility getting into fights, getting arrested and then getting angry at the DM because the world just slapped you back then you are asking the DM to just change how the world works because of your PC.Now if you do it in a way to raise rebellion among the commoners ala Zorro style, as an example, you are playing a character with the out look of all men are created equal but you are doing it in the setting.</blockquote>
