[QUOTE="Greg K, post: 7426200, member: 5038"] I know that, with regards to D&D, the setting is important to me as a player. I will not play Eberron, Planescape, Spacejammer, WOTC Forgotten Realms (well, actually, post 1e TSR grey box FR). I will not play in a D&D campaign introducing firearms/modern/futuristic tech, martial arts (as most people understand them to be), wuxia, or shonen anime inspiration despite being willing to play any of these in another system. I will also not play in a campaign utilizing collaborative setting design such as that of Dungeon World or Fate. As a DM, I will not run the above. I prefer to run homebrew, but I will run Greyhawk (original folio or boxed set setting minus things like Barrier Peaks module), Dark Sun (original boxed set setting), Ravenloft (Realms of Terror boxed set setting) or the Al Qadim setting. For homebrew, I will consider some player inspired changes (e.g. the seafaring pirate elves in my 3e campaign physically resemble drow, because a player wanted to play a drow so I instituted a cosmetic physical change. Mechanically, they were still elves. If she had wanted to be a warforged, dragonborn, or tiefling, my answer would have been no. Going one step further as a DM, I may just scrap a D&D game and switch to another system depending upon the character concepts my players present. If I had players coming up with a party inspired by comic book characters, I am pulling out one of several superhero systems, because I am not interested in running nightcrawler, psylocke Wolverine, other X-men clones, Batman, etc in a fantasy setting. Similarly, if I see players are inspired by shonen or most other anime, I am pulling out a different system whether BESM, a superhero system (probably M&M (with the Mecha and Manga sourcebook) or Marvel Heroic), Ninja Crusade, or investing in a copy of OVA. As for scifi/fantasy, fantasy with firearms, martial arts fantasy or wuxia, I am pulling out Savage Worlds, Cartoon Action Hour: Season 3, GURPS, HERO System, or True20 (if the players need a class/level system).
