[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8112159, member: 6987520"] (emphasis mine) Why not? Why are you bent on stopping a player from playing a concept they would enjoy? Why are you only "willing to run" what you want? The game is supposed to be about having fun for [I]everyone[/I], not just the DM. I can understand if they want something third party or from a book you might not have, in both cases you can review things and decide for yourself whether to include them or not. But frankly, otherwise it should be a group decision IMO. Our table just finished a 18-month game and are ready to start a new one. We discussed it as a table and came to a decision on what we will play next. One player will run Sunless Citadel first (his first time DMing), then me, and then another player will run an adventure he has planned for levels 12 and higher. I'm sorry, but where I live and the people I play with, if I had your outlook I wouldn't even have a game. I am going to run Frostmaiden on my turn because the table wants to play it. Am I really thrilled about it? Nope. I've read it, I think it sucks in a lot of ways and I'm going to have to do a lot of extra work to make it better--but I am still doing it because they are my friends and I know they will have fun. If you are fortunate enough to live in a place where players abound and you can have such a strict outlook, kudos for you. [/QUOTE]
