This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The DM, if one is even allowed, it just a leashed vend bot.


Are you suggesting that the DM is just there to "service" the players?

Nearly all recorded games are Mother, May I sessions.
Not ours! We had 30-40 minutes of non-game blather. The shooting starts about 45' in - Bill foils a robbery. It's a bit slow because I was explaining things for the audience to show how the game works and the mindset a player or referee need for it.
