Seriously. I want to know. If you were the DM of a game, would you allow me to play a Kender PC?

I like Kender!

100% Agree!!!

Not at all! It's more fun than playing and to me is a much more rewarding experience. Don't get me wrong, playing is fun, especially if the other players are fun to play with. But nothing beats being the DM!

The answer is... A) There can't be! B) There won't be! C) There never will be! D) Kender!

I just make this process for my players way easier by making them play humans, then they don't need to bother thinking about all this make-believe stuff and concentrate on playing the game. Their reactions to things will be naturally occurring and without thought because they are human. Also...

Nope. Why, do I need to in order for me to have fun, cause I don't. Good for you! Why didn't you just let them play what they wanted? I mean, that's basically what I keep being told to do. Good for you! I keep being told I'm a big meanie because I want to run a game with only humans and...

Why?!?!? Kender are all cute and innocent and stuff, seriously, it just fell in my pouch! Why won't anyone believe me!?!?! Also, Drow are emo losers.

Me! The players got shown the door! Funnily enough I ran into them later and they had found DMs that were running a game that allowed for their character concept. The players sounded very happy! If my fun being compromised because you absolutely need to play your special snowflake character...

It's not a matter of percentages, but it since you insist... I will lose 100% of my fun if I have to run a game where there are rubber forehead aliens. The player will lose 100% of their fun if they can't play a rubber forehead alien. What is the solution? I don't want to lose 100% of my fun...

So in your games rather than going on adventures you debate the finer points of Dragon People physiology? I would love to read those session reports!

Nah. Brand Recognition.

My players fun does matter, just not at the expense of my own. I'm not sure why you have a hard time understanding that. As DM I don't want rubber forehead aliens in my game, the player wants to play a rubber forehead alien. What am I supposed to do other than tell them to go find a DM that...

My players and I play them. The continued existence and publishing of new editions of games like Runequest and Traveller says otherwise. As does the continued love for FFG Star Wars, as well as Star Trek Adventures. Sorry it rubs you the wrong way that people not you prefer games that are not...

Huge in geek circles maybe, but I doubt outside that. I mean, I've seen Game of Thrones. I watch All Rise, Bull, For Life, The Rookie, and FBI: Most Wanted. I have watched Picard, and Star Trek: Discovery, though they lost me with season 3 as it's gotten so far from Star Trek it doesn't feel...

Well, the fluff that accompanies the "evil" non-human races is supposed to be important, so changing it would be detrimental to the game, or so you claim. What would the alternative be, just say that all races can do and be all the same things, good or bad, that humans can be. If yes, then why...

I thought in the older editions they did take decades to mature into adults.

The Last Kingdom is a fantastic show!

You roll on the chart of random monsters. Then the group fights said monster(s). If all the PCs die, the encounter was too hard!

It's a small world after all...
