Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mark" data-source="post: 269168" data-attributes="member: 5">Just curious but why would people assume that there are more bad DMs than good ones?  I know of very few DMs who will label themselves as bad DMs.  Most will mention one or two areas where they feel they might need some improvement but over all claim they are good.  I've also heard that 90% of all people that get behind the wheel of a car consider themselves to be above average drivers, so, maybe I'm out of line here.How does knowing how to bend real world laws help you handle game rules that handle magic?  If I am understanding you correctly I believe you mean the laws of science, correct?  Isn't magic and even how it is handled through the rules of D&D still rather inexplicable?I'm not sure how pleasing the RP-oriented DMs would help someone more inclined to RP.  Aren't the RPing rewards in 3E rather small and optional?I'm curious why those things are usually assumed.  You might be right but I am wondering if this is something most people assume and shouldn't.  Do her weekly duties help her in other areas besides outdoor knowledge?  Does the fact that she teaches teamwork to others help her?Why hold charges if you have a new char each week?  Although he chooses a poor medium to excersise his skills, doesn't his hardcore number-crunching ability to seek in the moment advantages help him somewhat?  He's a risk taker, sure, but isn't that something that is rewarded by the system?More questions than answers.  I'm not saying you are wrong but I do think there is a lot of room for discusssion in all of this... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
