Last week I listed what materials I would approve. If you were designing a character outside those materials, I am not going to be sympathetic.
Well. If you look at the time stamps on the posts, I posted my character on the 4th. You posted that you wouldn't allow ITCK and Mind's Eye on the 5th.
I don't see a need to quote myself, but I said last week that I would permit psions from the book, however if you continued to badger me for more supplements, I would remove them. Also your initial post was about you running a psion or a ranger/rogue.
Badgered you? Also, your other post never said that you would ban the class, it said that you would restrict me to the core book.
"You know if you keep digging up obscure Psi stuff I will be inclined to restrict characters to the PHB."
I posted
one time hoping to change your mind after you banned ITCK and Minds Eye. Your response to that single post was to ban psionics completely. I really didn't consider my one post as badgering you. Forgive me if I was such a bother..
I might also add that I added a post called titled "The Cast" just before you accepted the position as DM. It clearly stated that I would be playing a psion. You knew I was playing a psion before you accepted.
I did not bar psions until I was badgered.
Lets go back to this and look at the timing of events:
1. I posted the desire to get a game started. 10-4-02
2. I said I would be playing a psion. (ITCK and Mind's Eye where mentioned in that thread.) 10-4-02
3. I posted my character's basic stats. 10-4-02
4. You accepted the role of DM. 10-5-02
5. You expressed problems with ITCK and Mind's Eye. 10-5-02
6. I asked if you would reconsider. (The
only time I asked.) 10-6-02
7. You banned my class. 10-7-02
badger
\Badg"er\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Badgered (?);p. pr. & vb. n. Badgering.] [For sense 1, see 2d Badger; for 2, see 1st Badger.] 1. To tease or annoy, as a badger when baited; to worry or irritate persistently.
2. To beat down; to cheapen; to barter; to bargain.
Was I really that bad? I only asked once dude. Heck, I even offered to give you the information.
I permit them by the book- the one book. Don't lay the entire onus on me. If you require a whole list of conditions before you are willing to play a class, I hardly think it is my fault for not satisfying you.
I think you would find a player to be unreasonable if he would not make a wizard unless he were allowed T&B, FRCS, R&R, and BoEM, even if the DM didn't know the other supplements.
I allow a reasonably extensive selection of options. Just because ever detail of yours isn't included does not grant you a right to feel put upon.
You know what? I agree with this 100%. If a DM simply does not want a supplement in his game, that is completly his choice.
I just want to make sure this is clear:
I am not drapping out of this game because you wouldn't allow ITCK and Mind's Eye. I'm dropping out because you banned the class completly without warning and because of the way you handled this situation in general. I would have played a psion using only the psionics handbook, but then you banned the class sighting that:
1. You didn't want to learn the rules. (You knew we would be using them before you became DM.)
2. "Psions aren't much of a fantasy feature.." (Your opinion, and yet again, you knew I wanted to play one.)
3. "I would have to become a Psion expert in all things you've managed to dredge up." (I think that comment is a bit much don't you? After all, all I had managed to "dredge up" was a simple set of varient rules that I offered to provide. I would have felt a bit better if you had at least took two minutes to look at the info I offered before you rejected it. Really, it's only about 4 or 5 peragraphs. But like I said, I could have lived with that. I could have played a psion without those sources.)
In closing I would like to say that I am sorry to everyone for the way this turned out and I incourage you and the other players who still want to to continue with the game.
Grue mentioned that he would be willing to run a game and I hope he decides to. Myself and the others who don't object to psionics can join in that game.
Simple solution. Everyone is happy.
), so I certainly wouldn't mind him being involved.
