BTW, where does the DM style of "D&D would be better without players" qualify under?
Wouldn't that just be you telling stories to yourself that you've made up?
What I truly enjoy abut this forum is the utter lack of a sense of humour. I can post the most absurd comment, and it is taken at face value.

To answer the question, I need to know what kind of players are at the table.

Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
What?? No Killer DM option? Lol. Many years ago we had a coin with DM’s Grace on one side and Killer DM on the other. And sometimes you just took your chances. I didn’t DM much back in AD&D, but looking back I was terrible at it. Much too adversarial. I would hope with quite a few years under my belt, if I ever take up the DM’s mantle again I would be much better.

Hey, even if dropping the adversarial mindset is the only thing you do differently you'll do much better already, and I'm sure you picked up a bunch of other things from playing too. Give it a shot sometime.

Incomplete, inaccurate list. Why is there no option for...

When players get creative.
I'd say generally 50/50 mix of storyteller and casual, though as I'm writing more and more I'm leaning towards world builder.

Completely brand new, have never even heard of D&D. Have absolutely no background with TTRPGs or videogames of any kind at all.
So, 8-year olds with a sheltered upbringing? Because that age demographic alone changes things. A lot.

All of it except Villain. I'm not a villain myself, I play them. A lot.

I am the sort of DM that gives my players what I wish other DMs would give me; a world to explore.

See myself as world builder.
