[QUOTE="aco175, post: 9197070, member: 27385"] I think that most people agree that if people are having fun, then there is no wrong way. The main crux is that these games have a DM/GM where much of the power in steering the fun lays. There are several threads on the power of the DM and if he is a player at all, but the DM controls the dials of things like house rules or campaign rules on races and classes. The players can form a coalition and challenge this, but in the end the DM generally wins. If the DM is 'forced' by the players to play a campaign with pirates in outer space instead of a city undead game, then it is short-lived, pitters out due to lack of motivation, or morphs into a city campaign with undead. I like the Bob Dylan reference, but can relate to the Whitney Houston song- [I]I will always love you [/I]and how Dolly Pardon wrote it and sung it first with a more country flavor. It is ok, but not Whitney with hew pipes and power. Although, I did hear Dolly sing [I]Wrecking Ball[/I] with Miley and thought it was better than just Miley. [/QUOTE]
