A friend of mine is having creative difficulty DMing someone elses Realms game and I just sent him this advice and thought I'd share.
I'm not sure yet if it's satire or a really awesome idea. What's the playground's take on it?
You guys could institute a Change Point system. GM and players each get x number of vetoes. Vetoes refresh when a campaign ends.
Vetoes are unquestioned but can be used against each other.
Player thinks DM idea is "stupid" uses veto. GM knows idea has to stay for story reasons.
Compromise always trumps veto but does not restore a used veto.
If anyone runs out of vetoes entirely the campaign ends, rocks fall everyone dies, roll new characters, change gameworlds.
