That is a DM's option. They can allow any content that they wish to affect their game. That doesn't mean that it necessarily affects my game or anyone elses for that matter.   Then don't be a slave to convention. If your idea of Dark Sun does not include paladins, sorcerers or monks then don't use them. Stop being a slave to what WotC or any other publisher tells you. If your game would be more fun by having your halflings be 17 feet tall and have a 27 strength then do it. Do you need Paizo's permission to alter anything in that article to fit your view of Dark Sun?    Actually you are saying that. You are saying that because Paizo published a campaign world that has "options" you have to use them all. Where did your DM discretion go in that process?  How does this in anyway impact the price of tea in china. What Paizo, WotC or anyone else does with Dark Sun is pretty much up to them. Are they putting a gun to your head and saying, "You will play DarkSun our way or else?"   I wholeheartedly agree. That is why a DM has complete control of what goes into his campaign.   Hey, more power to you. I personally think that you are overreacting but that is your prerogative. This is a game we are talking about after all. Isn't it? Why get so worked up about something so inconsequential. If you choose not to purchase Dragon or Dungeon or anything else, it is your decision. The same way that using the DarkSun material as published or altering it to fit your needs or vision is also your decision. Paizo is not perfect. Name any publisher that is. However, I can honestly say that every instance of customer service I've had to deal with them has been very good. Can I use everything they publish right "out of the box"? No. But I can't do that with anything else either. Hey, have fun. Good luck and happy gaming.</blockquote>
