[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 6007064, member: 6698278"] The only thing that matters is great DMs. Great DMs always get groups and inspire players. Not sure how you make more but that is the crux of it. I don't think there is just one type of great DM either. But whatever style you pick you got to do it well. Whatever the playstyle, a DM who does that style well will find players that like that style. Some of you may think my own style is weird but I have them lined up to play in my campaigns. Since I run a good campaign I don't have to put up with a lot of crap. If a player acts up or argues all the time, I just tell him to leave. EDIT: I am sure I could "learn" how to do a passing decent job in any style. I mean if it was work I could learn to do it. Would I be as good as I am in my style? I don't think so. The DM has to have fun too. I wouldn't enjoy running these narrativist plot couponish games. So I wouldn't likely do them well. Instead I like my own playstyle and thus I do it well. There are plenty of players. DMs perhaps should get off their horse that their own style is the one true style. I've never said that. I have a good style that appeals to a lot of people. I'm sure there are at least a dozen other styles probably more than can get good groups and have fun. [/QUOTE]
