[QUOTE="Master Kaul, post: 144431, member: 3279"] [I]First off let me clear sumthin up, Lord of Tilverton is my other screen name at school.[/I] First off, I wasn't gearing that statement to a single person, I simply think(from what I've seen, alot of DM's (on this site) seem to see the game as "their's", and IMO that isn't the case. It takes PC to make the game run, and there ARE alot of closed minded DM's out-there, wheather your one of them or not? I'm not sure. The people I'm talking about are the ones that don't care what the PC's would like to do, if a DM runs a "good" campaign and everyone wants to(or at least wouldn't mind) playing a good character, thats fine, the PC's are having a good time. But if the group as a whole didn't like the goodie-2-shoes approach, or even 2 players, then the DM should do his best to compensate "in-game" so that the PC's have the freedom to portray any character/alignment they wish. Instead of makeing their "game nights" miserable. The most common flaw a DM can have is to see his self as the D&D Dictator or even the worse-case scenairio(spelling?) refer to himself as "God" or "God-like". In short: the PC's are just as important as the DM is, and to try to control their creative freedom isn't being a good DM. -Kaul Ravinous [/QUOTE]
