I mean, it doesn't even have to be the two extremes. It could be people at the table have buy in, but this one player really wants to see how this class feature or something from the "new" plays out. And that is the slippery slope. I don't think, at least at most tables, this leads to an argument. Mostly, it is just a quiet acceptance from the DM. And then another acceptance. And then the new material is part of their table.The buy in is the key here. Heck, I ran a summer campaign where I asked the players to only use the PHB. No other books, features, classes, races, spells allowed. They bought in just fine, but that is because they trust me. They understood my rationale and knew I had their best interest. But if one player would have come up to me and said, can I take this one spell from Tasha's because it makes my character a bad-#** or fit my character's backstory, I would have said yes. But they didn't because there is trust among us.</blockquote>
