[QUOTE="Gorg, post: 9622327, member: 7029501"] Quite possibly. Not ME , specifically, but he get's requests like " Can I play a plasmoid??" all the time. And he's gotten himself into the deep doo doo, by never putting his foot down, or disallowing anything- while playing with casuals, munchkins, etc. (or the old standard, we NEED this extra player, so I HAVE to bribe them by letting them <insert really irritating game breaking thing, or annoying character that destroys suspension of disbelief here> or they won't play/ let us play here.) He's had to DM for a LOT of dumbbutts over the years... Plus, he appears to have internalized every bad take, "EVERYBODY thinks x" internet thing, DnD Shorts' videos, etc about 5e-without actually playing it himself. It's like listening to every angry rant ever posted about modern DnD, whenever the subject is broached, lol. TBF, he got his books prior to the new MM coming out, but AFTER the 2024 PHB and DMG were out, so there's that. Add in a small collection of the more controversial/broken expansions, like Tasha's, and I can well imagine what's going thru his head, lol. I personally decided, that rather than fight with players about what to include, builds, etc- I'd run a system like C&C, which simply doesn't HAVE all that stuff. Just the essential, classic races and classes. And without a billion options for making character builds THE game. The play is the thing! [/QUOTE]
