Me and my friends just started playing 4th edition D&D and since I have the most creativity out of all of them (Especially since the one we had DM at first thought a cool story was to have Islamic pirates give cryptic warnings then explode, which isn't as fun as it sounds)
Anyway, after our first REAL session it got me thinking, to all the DM's out there, are you a nice DM who tries to keep the party alive and concentrates on story, a fair DM who's by the book and works with what the dice give or a dick DM who tries to kill the party as hard as you can without breaking the rules, or are you somewhere in between?
I'm personally a nice DM...mostly. I put a few fights in my friends favor, although I didn't hesitate to drop a pseudodragon on the their asses when the random encounter called for it.
Sorry to the mods if this is in the wrong area, I couldn't figure out if D&D is off topic or gaming.
