[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9506846, member: 6801845"] I've had a couple of people quit my game where it was obvious that we just had different expectations*. In one case the player wanted to "just go to a bar and stuff happens" which ... I'm still not sure what they wanted. Maybe simple dungeon crawls? Another wanted to play an evil PC, something I don't allow. In those cases we just parted ways amicably like adults. Meanwhile, even though I've had to start new groups because of moving, once a group gets going my retention rate is very high. Even though, yes, I restrict what species are allowed. Every DM is going to have a style and expectations. Allowing every option under the sun is just another setting option and one which doesn't work as well for some people. There is no one true way.
