[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5258304, member: 19675"] Personally, I've gamed on both extremes of the spectrum, and have been involved in or studied artistic movements at both ends as well. My take: Restrictions and freedom from them both have merits, but whichever you use should make sense. When I GM, I tend to err on the side of inclusion. Even so, I've also set boundaries in the interests of fun. For example, my 3.X campaigns tend to be wide-open- just come to me first- but when I run RIFTS, I actually have a list of approved O.C.Cs and R.C.Cs (complete with blurbs describing what their essential natures are) for each book included in the campaign's source material...and there are [B][I]NO [/I][/B]exceptions. With HERO, I tend to let the inmates run the asylum, but ask that if you come up with anything out there- defined as "possibly outside the genre conventions of the campaign"- it needs prior approval. And even something denied may be reworked into something analogous that conforms to the campaign's boundaries. [/QUOTE]
