With no challenge why bother to play just go home and read a book about other characters. I think one problem here is that a lot of you seem to not get the fact that people have different role playing kicks. In Robins's guide to DMing he talks about this. I fall heavily into the storyteller style of role playing I want the game to feel like a great book or movie my emotional kick is seeing the story unfold and sometimes seeing the cinematic great moments. A great DM acknowledges what is the emotional kick of his various players and tries his best to accommodate that. Now a heavily tactical player is different they get their emotional kick out of beating the DMs encounter through their planning and players like that are the ones that dislike fudging or changes because it interferes with their emotional kick.  If you can't accommodate a certain style of player in your game then be upfront and say this is not the game for you. But I think the very best DMs can accommodate different player kicks, it just means knowing what is your players emotional kick.</blockquote>
