[QUOTE="Gorg, post: 9622370, member: 7029501"] Depends on which version we're playing. but, for 5e: I restrict character options to the 2014 PHB. With Dragonborn, Tieflings, Warlocks, and Sorcerors being banned. The latter, because the current spellcasting rules made it a moot point, really. EVERYONE'S casting now works like the 3e sorceror's used to. Now it's just an odd jumble of stuff... The former simply don't exist in my setting. Back stories aren't banned, per se- but I never ask for them. We're writing our story as we go. I reserve the right to introduce alternate stuff to the campaign via NPC's . Volos, is absolutely going to be used- as a monster expansion. (what it did for Gnolls is EXACTLY the sort of thing I like!!) 3pp. I am an enthusiastic collector of monster books- and new nasties will find their way into the game. Same for adventures. Rules expansions? Not so much. The best part? The players rarely buy anything but the PHB, lol. So, it's mostly up to me to trickle in things like new spells, items, etc. I'm really not trying to be a stickler or fun killer- just to preserve the flavor of game that drew us in in the first place. Ok, FINE- and powergamey stuff irks me, lol. [/QUOTE]
