[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8803541, member: 6790260"] Where did I say they should? I simply don't think they should disparage some options and enshrine others. Instead, they should tell players (regular and DM alike) that choosing what races appear in a given setting is one of the (many) dials for tone and theme and give examples for how that can work out. I guess? Athas never gained anything new, and while there are laudable folks willing to consider a more open-minded attitude on things like Greyhawk (a fantasy kitchen sink if there ever was one), it's not like this us even remotely some kind of draconian (heh), enforced thing. What would make me happy is what I said above. Don't disparage some races and enshrine others. [I]Actually SHOW[/I] D&D being used as a toolbox, rather than making sweeping and inaccurate statements about what fantasy world there are. I don't care that much about what races DMs allow players to play in games I don't personally participate in. I do think many DMs would enjoy gaming even more than they do if they were more open-minded, but honestly, you do you mango. What gets my goat is official materials enforcing (or trying to enforce) ideological orthodoxy [I]in a game supposedly only limited by human imagination.[/I] [/QUOTE]
