[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 8111881, member: 5038"] You are the DM. Decide what races, classes, optional rules, etc you want to allow or limit based on your setting, what captures the tone you are going for, and any other aesthetic choices (including personal dislikes). Make all of this known to the players. Players can choose to accept the limitations you set or find another table if the two of you can't can't come ot an acceptable agreement. Personally, there are races, subclasses, and even a class or two in the 5e PHB that I would not allow if running 5e. Most often they don't fit the aesthetics of the fantasy that I want to run, but a banned items are dislike for the mechanics of a given class or subclass (and that is before getting to spellls). Similarly, pretty much most of the WOTC supplemental stuff would be out for the same reasons (which was true when I ran 3e. In contrast, there are options that I would allow from several websites (including ENWorld), DrivethruRPG, and DMs Guild . [/QUOTE]
