[QUOTE="baradtgnome, post: 6559906, member: 2722"] Welcome back prodigal son. :) I have a homebrew world which we have used for 35+ years. It has survived conversion from 1E to 3/3.5E, and is now being converted to 5E. My answer is in this context. What is already in the world, is in the world. Races and classes which are there can be used. Long time players know what is there, I give a run down to new players to help them get started. I have lots of documents from the current campaign on a web site. Material not appearing in the world is not available to be used, unless/until a player comes to me (DM) and asks. I want to say yes. However, nothing comes in which will mess with the flavor or balance. Much work has gone before and will not be thrown away. Nothing comes in which will spoil existing players fun. Using the dragonborn example: want to play a dragonborn? Work with me to figure out how a one off fits in the world. You will have to deal with the fact you are 'different' and probably are not initially welcome in most places. I do have dragonborn in the world, but they are not a 'race', and do not look like the creatures described in the 5E PHB. I will allow that stats for the most part with some minor adjusting to fit how the player helped me make it fit into the world. I have been talking about my campaign conversion on my little old blog, including a post on[URL="http://gnotions.blogspot.com/2015/02/converting-my-campaign-to-d-5e.html"] races allowed[/URL]. I want new players to have fun, doing what they like, but they need to respect the work and story which has come before. [/QUOTE]
