Message: <blockquote data-quote="DestroyYouAlot" data-source="post: 3056217" data-attributes="member: 36618">I think I'm lucky in this respect; everyone in my group started in a previous edition (from OD&D to 2e), and they're used to having a more limited palette to choose from.  In my campaigns (and I firmly believe this should go without saying, in any campaign), the options are those that I offer, end of sentence.  I'm not averse to including something if it's presented to me ahead of time and it meets my approval, but at this point it consists of:  Core 3e books (duh), the original 3e character option books, most 3e Forgotten Realms products (i.e., those that I happen to own), the Legends and Lairs Dungeoncraft book (excellent, but not much for players here), and Torn Asunder from Bastion Press (an excellent expanded critical hilts/fumbles/called shot system; again, not much for players).That said, even the material listed above, outside of the PHB, is subject to individual approval - prestige classes in particular.  Again, my players are pretty well-trained and don't just expect to be able to take a prestige class without prior approval from me.  And when it comes to monsters and NPCs, it's rare for me to take anything outside of the Core set, maybe with the FR campaign setting thrown in.  Two reasons for that:  a) when I'm working on my campaign I'm usually at work, and there's a limit to what I can fit in my backpack, and b) it's just unnecessary.  Unless it's a major encounter (a "boss") or a recurring NPC, it's a lot of work for sword fodder that I'm gonna use once, unless it's a "foot soldier"-type that I can use multiple copies of.That's how I roll, anyways.</blockquote>
