[QUOTE="Iku Rex, post: 2673355, member: 752"] The GM's enjoyment is more important. Happy, dedicated GMs means that the players get to choose between well developed and varied campaigns. This leads to player happiness as a convenient side-effect. Even if you assume a limited one-group game the GM is still the most important participant. If one player no longer wants to play or only plays half-heartedly that won't necessarily have that much of an impact on the campaign. The same isn't true for the DM. The people answering "everyone equally" seems to forget that it's not an either-or situation. The players can always leave, so if the DM is enjoying himself he'll makes sure, for completely selfish reasons, that the players are enjoying themselves too. (I would have answered "Me", but that's ultimately the true answer for everybody to any question of this sort, so I went with what I perceived as the intent behind the question.) [/QUOTE]
