Message: <blockquote data-quote="El Mahdi" data-source="post: 5745081" data-attributes="member: 59506">I find the arrogance and politely couched derogations expressed here almost completely flabergasting...though only almost. If someone wants to play a game limited to certain materials, it's just as viable and valid a choice as playing with all materials available. And both are just as viable and valid as what game system they and the group choose to play. The only real question is whether the "group" has agreed. It is a social contract that requires the cooperation of all involved, players and DM alike. If a DM wants to limit the materials for a game, then the only consideration is whether the players are willing to accept that. If they aren't, then the question becomes whether the DM is willing to accept that. Or whether DM and players can find an agreeable middle ground, or simply part ways. But it's definitely nobody else's place in this thread or anywhere else (with the only exception being the DM's group), to tell said DM that they are wrong, are doing it for the wrong reasons, or that you don't approve. In a "recreational hobby", the response of "I don't like it" is not only a valid reason, it's the most valid reason.  Playing something you don't like or in a manner you don't like, especially when you know you won't have any fun if you do, seems the height of foolishness.  What point is there to wasting one's recreational time on something one doesn't like?<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/erm.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":erm:" title="Erm    :erm:" data-shortname=":erm:" /> I'll send the rest of my thoughts as a PM, as they are likely inappropriate for posting in these forums.</blockquote>
