But then in talking with people on here and other forums, apparently I have a uniquely bad experience with players. Doesn't really help stopping it, but at least it's not wide spread...I guess.I don't need them to love X, just to not sign up to play a game where X is a thing only to endlessly complain about X being a thing.I did. The responses I got fell into two camps. 1. Don't do that. 2. Reward us for playing along, don't punish us.I tried 2. They just ignored the rewards so they didn't have to deal with the limitations. Effectively reaching 1.As an example, wearing armor while resting. I used the Xanathar's Guide rules for limiting armor wearing while sleeping. The players objected, I asked and they told me 1 and 2 above. So I started rewarding inspiration for not wearing armor while resting...so everyone just kept on wearing armor while resting and accepted they wouldn't get inspiration for playing along. I also increased the amount of inspiration a PC could have, so they could have more than one and keep them so there was no "lost" inspiration for playing along.Literally nothing. RAW or RAW or RAW. Your options are RAW. In my experience, 5E players do not want anything limiting their characters in any way at all. They will sacrifice nothing. They will risk nothing. I've had players rage quit over their character taking 1 hp of damage.</blockquote>
