[QUOTE="barasawa, post: 6931449, member: 44909"] For most of our games, the answer is a conditional depends. There is homebrew stuff that everyone agrees on, and that goes along with the no secret rules thing. Other than that, if the GM doesn't have that book or supplement, your odds of getting it approved are pretty close to zero. If the GM does have a copy, he (or she) will look it over and decide if it will be a proper fit into their campaign. If so, in some cases it will be a unilateral decision to add, other times we discuss it and take a vote. Depending on how big a change it might be sets whether it will be a majority vote or unanimous required. Sure, it's kind of by feel rather than by set procedure, but it works and nobody feels like the rug is being pulled out from under them. This has come about by too many cases of people blindsiding the GMs and other players with bogus stuff from other supplements, though the vast majority of those were 3rd party.
