[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8765226, member: 18"] I mean, I think 90% of people playing this way aren't "enforcing" any kind of rules about 3PP material or homebrew or the like, they're just people who are more either newer or just run in a way that doesn't necessitate a whole lot of their own homebrew and so on. I've played with DMs like this and they were fine. The very best experienced DMs are obviously almost never like that, but newer or less adventurous DMs, who may be great moment-to-moment DMs absolutely can be. It feels like there's a middle-ground the size of Eurasia you're excluding there lol. Most groups I've encountered that use house rules post-2E have rarely had more than a page or two of them. Yeah the giant binder is always worrying as hell, usually meaning wildly OP and unbalanced races and classes for existing players, but that's rarely what "house rules" or "homebrew" actually looks like, imho.
