[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 9508180, member: 6698278"] I think somethings get mixed up in the discussion. I'm firm on in game discussions about a rules adjudication but it can be discussed after the session. I am open to discussing the campaign setting before we start and if a players idea can be integrated then it might get into the game. The issue though is who has final say and that final say rests with the DM. He has created an entire setting for the entertainment of his players. If he did it to my satisfaction, he did a lot of work. I'm going to respect that effort. If the theme or flavor is terrible for me as a player then I just won't play that time. I'll check back next time. I agree but I want them to state that outright. I don't play or own any 5e stuff so they may have said it. Good for them if they did. A lot of player expectations are that the entire PHB will be used guaranteed every time. Well I have to admit that Tolkien is incredibly popular and it is the flavor of the original D&D. So I'm not surprised it has a popular following. Many people just want to play what they played in their younger days. I'm open to changes but I do have my favorites. For example, I don't mind warforged or dragonborn. They both have exotic reasons for existing. I don't like Tieflings very much. I think most of those children would be burned at the stake early on in their lives. I think Monte Cooke's Arcana Unearthed (later Evolved) is a good example of a totally different world using mostly 3rd edition mechanics. [/QUOTE]
