[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9313620, member: 6796661"] No. And there isn't a default. Different publishers will have different "defaults", but there is so much variety in TTRPG game mechanics and settings that I find it laughable that any feels like they are being forced into anything. Even if we go with WotC D&D there is a good amount of experimentation and diversity in official 5e settings and adventures. But they are not going to push the envelope too far. They are going to be risk adverse when it comes to what may upset people. They are going to err on the side of accomodation and inclusion. They are the biggest tent in the TTRPG space and have to cater to the largest audience. But if what they are putting out doesn't work for you, there is a large ecosystem of third-party material. If the core rules of the game are no longer working for you, there are MANY D&D variants on the market. Just play the game you and your friends want to play in the way you want to play it.
