All Things DnD's Story Dungeon

Easily my favorite part of this story is the fact that the DM tried to get out of the situation he put himself in. He rolled with the punches and let his player’s plans happen. That’s what it's all about, the improv the quick thinking and begrudgingly rewriting all of that planned campaign because of the spell Command.

Looking back at this story, what is the fine line between clever play and metagaming? Do you think this player did accidentally end up metagaming? I don’t personally think the OP did anything as such but do let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Improvisation is the soul of dungeons and dragons. My approach to DMing is creating a rough outline of plot devices that my players can run into that will propel the story forward. Of course most of the time they go in the complete opposite direction and I shift my plot devices that way or simply make things up. I think that if you’re playing DnD correctly you have to be cheating just a little.

These situations are what makes a DM think a lot. Should the DM have shielded the player by not following the rules for his own happiness? Or perhaps it was a lesson for other DMs to be more flexible? 

Every table has good and bad moments. I'd love to hear from you, especially if you've faced similar situations in your campaigns. How do you strike the balance between staying true to the game and ensuring everyone's enjoyment?

It’s tough being in a small town with a small gaming community. I’m glad that she discovered what kind of person DM truly was and found another game to play.

Why anyone would sit through a paid campaign so someone else can be the main character is beyond me…but I’m glad the player found a game where they got to be the character they wanted.
