I tend to DM for mostly new players, so I tend to stick with what's in the PHB of a given edition and only allow them, unless players have a concept that I think a non-core class would be better suited to (I had an Archivist in a 3.5 campaign once, for instance). I mostly only run in Eberron now, and as far as 5e goes Tieflings and Dragonborn are fairly rare but there's a place in the canon for them (and basically all of the PHB classes as well). None of my players are interested in psionics at all but I'd allow a Mystic at this point, I think.I will, on occasion, run a setting of my creation and make restrictions where I think there's no support in the setting for them. Had one campaign where I disallowed dwarves, for instance, because they were all xenophobic jerks. Made some fun villains. That campaign had the PCs as an elite squad of scouts/spies in an army, so I told them to mostly stick with classes that could handle stealth. Played in an all-human, no-magic 3.5 campaign once that was a lot of fun. Campaign setting very inspired by the Thief series. I actually ended up playing an Archivist myself, but then I was secretly working with that setting's equivalent of the Keepers, so I had to keep the fact that I could do magic secret from everyone else. Fun game.</blockquote>
