Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 6072819">I have honestly never had the displeasure of running a published adventure.  I don't think I'll ever be interested in doing so.  Still, unless the adventure hinges around the fact that there are dragonborn in the Cult of Bane some 80 miles up the Delimbiyr River...I would wager snapping your fingers and replacing them with humans wouldn't require too much effort.So your issue really isn't with dragonborn, it's with all demi-humans.  I'd question if running published adventures of any edition is a sound idea with such feelings.I don't mind asking players what they want, and what they want to do.  But I always follow it up with "what are you willing to give me?"  Christmas preseants are nice, but Christmas only comes once a year.  That's how I look at giving out treasure.  The stuff that really matters, the huge caches of gold, the ancient elven swords, you don't find these things on bandits or the occasional evil spider, you find them after nearly being eaten alive and your thief has to play for time until daybreak when your wizard smashes the giant rock and turns all the trolls to stone.  It's one thing to ask what players want, its another thing to give it to them, and even if you do, never does a thing in D&D come without strings, that's just not fair....to the DM.</blockquote>
