[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8150208, member: 93670"] I'm going to agree with [USER=6704184]@doctorbadwolf[/USER] that your examples sound pretty rediculous. It's more like your kid asking "can you make Moroccan cinnamon chicken"(it's got cinnamon), "can we have that persian rice with the cinnamon, raisins, & carrots?"(sweet [I]and[/I] has chicken)... or you as an adult knowing how to make those & having made those not being able to tell your kid "no you can't have those, but I can make that Persian rice or we can put your chicken fingers on a bun so you can eat it like a hot dog since you don't want rice" to see if there is a happy middle that meets both goals. You only need to look as far as the OP's [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/gm-authority-edited-for-clarity-post-148.677008/post-8148761']response[/URL] to a video that ends with some advice about how the gm is not god of the players & how working with the players is an important skill for a gm hoping for a healthy game to see the failure. as to your "playing it out" in post 263 that's just as absurd as the OP but by now people have pointed out all the elf-like things in GoT that an elf could be reflavored into... a competent could have trivially handled it like this P4 "Okay. I will play Sir Elf the Elfiest of Elfs!" GM "I just said it's a human-only campaign in westeros, there are no elves but there are dothraki, unsullied children of the forest, people with high valerian bloodlines, & people like varys who were experimented on by a sorcerer but managed to survive.. lets talk about some of those & see which of those things that could stand in for an elf interest you" [spoiler="1-5min"] [ATTACH type="full"]130189[/ATTACH] [/spoiler] GM: "Hey guys, PC4 is an unsullied & he's literally owned by one of you! PC2 I think it would fit well with your noblest of nobles..." [/QUOTE]
