In your most recent game, were human variants allowed?

For the last game I ran and the game I am preparing to run: no, I do not allow variant humans. I do allow feats, just not variant humans. Standard humans, while underrated, are incredibly robust and powerful, and my players have a lot of fun being those humans too. I honestly haven't seen fewer humans for banning them.

Feats work for me in 5th edition because the player is always giving up an increase to an important ability score for the feat, and I don't like the notion of trading dump stats for a feat instead.

In 3 campaigns I've played in, Vumans and feats were allowed.

In my game atm I only allow variant human, not the standard one.

They are allowed, but no one chose to play one.

This was true for me too. Two standard humans in the game, no variants.
