Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oofta" data-source="post: 9390589" data-attributes="member: 6801845">I agree.  As an example when it comes to races allowed, I limit them.  Not because I have a problem with people playing a cat person, but because I want to think about how they fit into the world.  In addition, even the limited number of races I do have sometimes feel like too many.  It's just my preference.  But when I've said this on this forum I've been called a tyrant because of my limitations and repeatedly been told that I could fit them in somewhere if I really wanted to.  Which, of course I could.  I don't want to.Somehow this aspect of design, which is really a minor aspect to my campaign and world design,  is going to destroy the fun of potential players.  Very, very few people actually play a race much different than a normal human or just plays to aspects that could easily be attributed to a human.  Which of course makes sense since we can't really know how a different species would think.Yet I'm a bad DM because I want to build a campaign world that makes sense to me.  Flipping this around, a DM that really leans into the rule of cool to an extreme that I don't care for is not inherently a bad DM, they just aren't the right DM for me.P.S. I never have an issue attracting players or retaining the vast majority of players that do join my game.</blockquote>
