halrebirth05 12-08-05, 10:24 PM	I am currently playing two campaigns in bothe the other DM is a player but in one the DM is always trying to integrate movies and video games into the game example as a psion for awhile he was going to try to turn psi powers into the force. example two bringing aliens and predators into othe game he wont listen to us telling him it wont work orat least he isnt doing it right any thought would help please

If that doesn't work, leave the game, start your own. If the other players are having such a fuss as well, they'll probably join your game, and then its all good...
