[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8192457, member: 7006"] I'm saying that knowing my players are going to be roleplaying in a very narrow look anyway... I'd rather have them at least have their characters fit into the theme and baseline of my campaign as best as possible so that they can navigate the world and open up more avenues for adventure for me as a DM. Any attempt at creating some weird, wild, at the margins type of character within the setting (because they think it makes them special) ends up being pointless if the weird, wild, marginal character is played no differently than a "normal" character from the setting. The only difference is me as DM having to keep trying to justify this bizarre choice over and over again with NPC reactions and the like. It may not matter to them as players, but it does to me as a DM. But like I said... this attitude does make me look like bit of a dick, admittedly. It's a cross I bear. [/QUOTE]
