[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 8064579"] This is one of those posts (and one of those conversations) where I wonder who on earth other folks are gaming with. Do you really encounter DMs who won't say anything beyond, "No, I don't want you to"? If so, why the heck are you playing with them? How old is this person? Like the conversations about metagaming, I think it comes down to trusting your table. If somebody in my group is starting a new campaign (we take turns DMing) and they say, "Hey, in this campaign the only allowable races are...." it just wouldn't even occur to think they're doing this for some kind of passive-aggressive reason. I assume they have a concept in mind for a world, and I certainly don't want to start the whole campaign off by trying to break that concept for them. The game doesn't need rules or guidelines or DMing principles that are designed to minimize the damage caused by jerks. Just don't play with jerks. [/QUOTE]
