Just curious - as a GM, how lenient or how strict are you? I admit, I'm really lenient typically. There's no right style of course, so this isn't intended to trigger any debate on a "better" style, just wondering what people have to say.
Yeah, I'm sure this has been on the boards before.
Anyway, when I say lenient, in my case, I mean that character concepts may be pretty far-out, stop powers are usually allowed, that sort of thing. In-play I'll give consdierable flex for cool ideas and interesting tangents. I don't stick to the preordained notes/script much at all. However, my boundaries come up not just where the fun might be hampered (I'm sure everyone has that boundary), but also where I think it will have too destabilizing an affect on the game world or where it seems to make one character just way outstanding above the others. That's probably really where it lies.
