[QUOTE="Festivus, post: 5254336, member: 34532"] DM side of the table: In my last 3.5 campaign, I allowed kitchen sink in, and regretted every moment I did. I vowed next time that I would lock it down to core. Right now we are playing Pathfinder, which is pretty much core only as there aren't any options. In my last 4E campaign, I allowed kitchen sink in, and had no problems with it at all. I can't say if it was DDI because I wasn't using it, but the players all used the Character builder, had their sheets with all the data printed out and nothing seemed game breaking to me. Player side of the table: 3.x: Heck yah I would want to be able to play my psionic warrior if I felt the story called for it, or a prestige class I wanted, or a spell... but the DM gets to say no if they want, and I would respect it. 4e: Heck yah, I would want all the options opened to me. Core only (by your definition, the first three books... not what I consider core btw), is too limiting in terms of choices. If I were to define Core 4e, I would say all the printed books are core, and the dragon magazine stuff not... but that is my definition. Didn't WoTC say "Everything is core"? I can't recall.
