And most of the time, those settings are permissive enough to allow most ideas though. Ever notice most published settings are still kitchen sinks of various sizes? Because those sell to the largest audience. Even I wager the majority of homebrews aren't that much more restricting than Greyhawk...

You are making presumptions you know nothing about. But seeing that I do not wish further red text, I will end this conversation now.

Wow. Apparently I don't friend correct for Enworld! Proof @EzekielRaiden was right. If you were here to lecture about unsafe social dynamics, you failed miserably.

Everything I mentioned was either in Tasha or Xanathar's, assuming you have the two "of Everything" books there wouldn't be an issue. You'd be cool with any of the four I mentioned?

No, but when everyone has work and family obligations it's often the easiest way to get everyone in one place. Yes, it's called "equality." As in I don't feel the need to put my own needs above those of my players. I am the facilitator and host, not their boss. They sacrifice a little of their...

Interesting. I would have expected that a setting with such a sharp and defined vision would have had a at least a few "this can't work in my game" subclasses based on flavor/lore. That means I could play a wild magic barbarian, a clockwork sorcerer, a soulknife rogue or a samurai fighter with...

"Sorry guys, I would rather play online with a bunch of strangers than play Spelljammer with you." is probably a good way to make sure you don't get pinged when the next game rolls around! But then again, I would rather not run Spelljammer than run something so odious that a player (a friend of...

Since everyone else uses their personal experience as gospel truth. I only get to game once a month and my campaign can take years to complete. So to say no to my game is to sit out years of play. In the meantime, if a player comes along who is receptive to my current game, you are not...

I find it interesting that you respond to hypotheticals as attacks. much of this debate I've noticed is not framed as a social activity between equals, but on the context of a manager hiring players. A lot of the language used is that akin to hiring an employee rather than people deciding what...

I was going to ask why you let the deva in despite your hard-line species, but I think found the answer.

Yes, but have you ever looked a new monster book and said "damn, that's a cool monster. But I've already said something like that can't exist in my game, so I will never get to use it ever." In my experience, very few DMs, even those who run "currated" games, so that. Unless it's based on a...

I will give you credit then. You are devoted to your vision and not simply interested in limiting PC options while keeping all your DM toys available. A rarity in this space. It takes a lot of willpower to ignore the latest player book AND monster manual.

It seems like the desire for consistency would hamper your ability to add new monsters or even provide variants of them. For example, you declare the only types of dragons are the 10 chromatic/metallic, then you would never be able to use any other type (say, gem or moonstone) because that would...

I suggested a mutant or offshoot lizard man (either using the stats of lizardfolk if the AC was a concern or just a lizardfolk who grew a shell and has Tortle stats). To me, that akin to a lizardfolk who looks like a gecco or iguana. It was literally my first offer for compromise and I was...

I'm going to assume then your world also has a carefully currated list of magic and monsters as well? There is no "a wizard did it" owlbears because "create owlbear" isn't a wizard spell? That all NPCs are bound to the same limitations as PCs when it comes to magic and you can, in theory...
