[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6931856, member: 6701872"] I don't think that is accurate, since someone - not me, by the way - began a discussion of the semantics. That's what @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6776548"]Corpsetaker[/URL][/U][/B][/I]'s claim of things "not counting" despite his own words not explicitly limiting what counts, and @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6775477"]Shiroiken[/URL][/U][/B][/I]'s suggestion that "DMs allow" implied one but not both sides of the screen are - semantics. It is fine that you wanted it to be clear that you allow 3rd party material in your campaigns more selectively. Of course, that answers a different question than was actually asked by the poll, and shows us that at least 1 of the "no" results recorded above is actually a "yes" - because the claim being tested by the poll was not worded appropriately to mean what we've later been told that it was intended to mean. Much like how if I say "I don't eat fish." and then later inform you that I don't consider canned tuna to count as fish, and I do eat canned tuna, it is accurate to say that my initial statement is incorrect. Also, I find the other poll to be interesting since the answers on it, despite being much fewer in quantity (I guess many of the folks that answered this poll found some reason not to answer the other), still show the majority of answers given being contrary to the statement starting this whole "poll dance" as written, [I]and[/I] as was stated to be intended to mean "most DMs don't allow 3rd party [I]player materials[/I] in their games".
