It really feels like a bad faith attempt to put me down, except it's too out there lol. Okay I guess? Maybe you can set a filter you don't have to see the worse ass? Or I could spell it arse if that helps? Really feeling like I accidentally jumped dimensions or something here lol, to one where ass is "the a-word" which no-one uses, not a relatively okay word for a part of the body everyone has.It's a huge red flag and I think a number of DMs would agree, if they've had the bad luck to meet it.Players who want to play a very specific race and only that race (and presuming it's not "human") often possess the following characteristics:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Want to play a specific character, and play that regardless of setting/tone/atmosphere/other players.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">That specific character is an OC from free-form online RP and/or closely based on an anime/TV show/vampire movie</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They want to play that character regardless of setting/tone so they RP in a solipsistic way, and try and make the game about their character</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They aren't a good team player at all (unless that OC/character they're based on is - but they usually maximum "I work alone!!!")</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">They get really excitable/frustrated when things don't go good for their character, to a very problematic degree</li> </ul>None of these are certainties, but this isn't a one-off. This a whole type of player, and usually the first sign of trouble is "I need to be race X!!!" when that race doesn't exist in the setting. This is the modern version note, there was an earlier version which was just as problematic but less online (and usually an elf not usually a vampire).Why? You still haven't explained any actual reasoning here, unlike [USER=6915329]@Faolyn[/USER] who had more concrete reasons.My suggestion harms no-one and empowers DMs who want to run a certain way, as well as those who don't. It's almost like you're against DMs having choice, and the reasoning seems to be "I want to run it this way, therefore all DMs should run like me!".Like, I get liking to run things a specific way, but I don't get wishing all other DMs to be in the same situation. It seems weird too me.</blockquote>
