[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6931443, member: 12731"] I don't know what other thread that is, but I think there's a risk you're not representing that claim correctly. After all, you cut Shiroiken off before he could say this: So, again, what are we really discussing here? I bet that other thread contained complaints "my DM won't allow me to use option Z". That is, the perspective of a [B]player[/B]. Still, the poll conflates two things. 1) Players wanting 3PP and homebrew options. This clearly means character build options. 2) DMs using 3PP and homebrew options. This could very well be invisible to the players - a player might not know or care whether magic item X or spell Y comes from WotC or elsewhere. So what is it? Are those "few people" players or are they DMs? I guess you could be interested in the difference between DMs that don't use any homebrew at all, and DMs that only use homebrew for their own use. But I think you mean [B]players[/B]. As I said previously, I myself voted "no", since that is in line with what I suspect is your intention for the poll. But others might have voted "yes", so I'm afraid the results won't be usable either way... Perhaps a poll such as the following might have been better? Asking [B]players[/B] to vote whether [B]their DMs[/B] allow them to use homebrew and 3PP character options? - Yes, I can use 3PP options for my character if I can persuade my DM to allow it - No, my DM does not include 3PP options for player characters [/QUOTE]
