[QUOTE="Gundark, post: 538886, member: 6148"] in my gaming group we have 3 Dm's that take turns behind the screen. Both of our styles are different. My one friend is santa claus, he gives out magic items like they're candy ( for example he let us find a deck of many things at 10 level and took out the bad cards, or at 9th level was giving out wishes, one of our players had 7 wishes she had stored up). My others friend is a christmas elf, while not as giving as my one friend, let us have certain magic items for nothing ( here...take my +2 flaming longsword for your quest, you can keep it). Then there is me ( the DM Nazi, which I did not give myself this name). I give out magic items according to the random tables in the DMG or when a certian magic item is needed.
