But I have certainly made exceptions. I try to say yes to players, but, ultimately, I have to run the game and if I feel that 3rd-party material is unbalenced, doesn't fit into my campaign, or that I just don't want to have another set of options and rules to worry about, I am comfortable saying no. I don't run Pathfinder for a reason. Too much to keep track up and on top of as a game master. It isn't fun for me. D&D 5e has hit my sweet spot and the release schedule has been reasonable. I've not felt overwhelmed yet. But once I start letting anyone play any option they've found on the Internet, then it becomes much hard for me to plan and run sessions.</blockquote>
