[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 1745621, member: 15651"] Our group has two DMs, I am one of them. The two of us do things very differently for our campaigns. Our other DM has put together a list of "canon" materials from which we can choose. This list includes the core books, the "Complete X" books, the various FR books and a couple of others. The DM is restricted to these materials as well unless absolutelt required for a specifc adventure. I have taken a different approach. For me all core books are of course OK, and any material from the setting specific books (I run Scarred Lands and am about to start Midnight) are OK in the right campaign. Beyond that every other option is judged on a case by case basis. Someone wants a feat from Dragon? Let me look at it first. This one is OK, but it does not mean the next one you want will be. I try and justify why it is or is not acceptable, and that mostly comes down to possible balance issues or it just does not fit with the flavor of the setting (but it might be OK for the other setting we play in).
