You assert the GM deserves more influence, more deference from the others, deserves to have their interests put before everyone else's because without them, the game can't happen. Try this on for size.Typical group, five players, one GM. GM meets whatever standards you wish to set for "providing the entire campaign".But Player A is the one providing the meeting location. Group has already tried other locations when this player couldn't host--never works. Libraries need them to be too quiet and don't let them have snacks. There is no FLGS within driving distance of all players, nor any community center with the kind of space they need--rooms are either too small or MUCH too large, and again often forbid food. This player is centrally located, convenient for everyone to reach, generous with snacks, etc.By your own logic, surely this player now merits just as much influence as the GM. After all, without them and their investment in the game, there can be no game. They are literally exactly as necessary to the game as the GM is--just as there can be no campaign without the GM, this group can have no campaign without a place to play it.Do you agree or disagree? If disagree, why?</blockquote>
