That is what a session 0 is for: to get everyone on the same page.When I asked my players if they would like to play a pirate campaign, I gave them the following guidelines that I had in mind:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">D&D rules, but with firearms</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">No characters that can innately fly or breath underwater, with the exception of magic or shape shifting.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">No evil characters.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The pcs are all part of the same pirate crew.</li> </ul>I also explained to my players why I felt these rules were important for the sort of campaign I wanted to run.Once I got all my players on board with this idea, they started making characters. I find it unlikely that after agreeing to those rules, any player would insist on making a character that goes against those very rules that they just agreed to.I think clear communication is key here. I wouldn't just propose a GoT campaign, but I would also explain what that means in my opinion. Because you would want your players to know exactly what they are getting into.</blockquote>
