Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oryan77" data-source="post: 5851067" data-attributes="member: 18701">That's how I am. I've been to a Chinese restaurant expecting to order a certain dish. They didn't have it on the menu. No big deal. I came to eat Chinese food (play D&D) and there were plenty of other things available that I do like. The reasons for why they didn't serve the dish made no difference to me. The outcome is still the same.If I liked the service and the rest of the meal, I'm not going to follow it up by speaking negatively about the place to people just cause I didn't get what I wanted. Not getting what I wanted doesn't mean they were a bad restaurant (or DM).I don't have any abnormal character creation restrictions like banning a core race. So I've never had a player demand an explanation from me about that.But I have had players want to play races that I never even heard of before. I even had a player want me to allow a WoW race in my D&D game. I wanted to stick to using the races I was familiar with and I originally said "no". Then they kept pestering me about it. I do try to let the players play what they want, so I allowed the race (or allowed a similar D&D race that I don't offer as a PC race). But the fact that they "grilled" me about it until I gave them their way was extremely annoying. No matter what explanation I gave, it wasn't good enough.I don't mind explaining my restrictions. But I don't like to defend my restrictions even if it was as basic as "I just don't like it." We all have things we don't like with no real good reason for not liking it. I don't see why a player can't still have fun playing one of the other many options available. I do!But when the DM says it isn't an option, then you know it isn't the typical D&D campaign.</blockquote>
