"We're playing kitchen sink fantasy. Anything official goes" is wildly different than "we're playing Dark Sun. Buckle up." If the DM has restrictions, they should tell the players. But once that happens ("we're playing Dark Sun") it's up to the players to conform to that. "Nope, sorry, but your water merchant / iron merchant lawful good paladin of Bahamut won't work in Dark Sun." "But my snowflake." "Too bad." If it is an official setting, the players should do a bit of homework. It's not the DM's job to read the setting info to the players. It's out there, Google it.Absolutely. I get that players are used to the DM doing 99.9% of the work, but come on. You don't get a gold star just for showing up on game night.Isn't that weird. As if somehow everything about the character or on the character sheet isn't also something the DM can leverage. There is some kind of weird hyper-risk adverse thing going on recently. It's so odd. Like people forget it's a game.</blockquote>
