I must have confused it with something said by people from WotC trying to hype this thing up in an interview.I am still going to argue with others because I take some issues with things being said in this thread.My solution is that instead of DM-adversarial rules that build a very shallow "DM vs players" mentality, a good explanation of building proper relationship between player and DM would be better use of the space. You are changign the timeline, that post came AFTER you tried to push a question that I beleive was done in bad faith, with you having ready way to dismiss me regardless of answer given.I beleive an advice on proper and respectful way to play and that respect goes both ways is far from useless advice and I will always prefer it over trying to put arbitrary roadblocks for one side one.You are twisting my position from "actions should have consequences and give players a way to avoid them is bad for the game" into being controlling and railroading dm. it's very disengenious argument.If so, then the survey was pointless.One would think a Dungeon Master's Guide could spare some space to walk DM through proper etiquette regarding all discussed mechanics and systems. I think it could be good practice, especially when introducing a new system to have a sidebar explaining DM should not just arbitrary take Bastions away, but the player cannot expect to use the Bastion as a free "get away with bad behavior" card, culd go a long way.Where did I say that? Can you give me exact quote, because I tihnk you are conflating two or three different things I've said separatelly into a strawman.</blockquote>
