[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 6399104, member: 9037"] I play 3.5 and have since it came out and I was not burned out by the sheer amount of supplements nor was the other DMs in our group. One of my biggest peeves is how people think their game experience is the same as everyone else and that they speak for us all. I did get burned out by other things but not that. So because some DMs are unable to handle conflict and whiny player outbursts the rest of us who enjoy splat books should have to do without? Because that is what some of you are saying. Instead of the better option of not allowing them in your game while allowing other tables to use them in there you basically saying I matter more. The fact that a DM can't say no to his partner is not a supplement book problem and believe me I wish it was as easy as saying no to certain books. I love splat books as both a DM and player they give me more options. As a DM I I often limit things based on my game world. I give players a list of what is allowed and what is not allowed and if they don't like it then they don't have o play in this campaign. As a player I accept what limitations a DM puts on the game if it and if the game does nor sound like something I want to play then I simply don't play. I don't try and whine and force my DM in run what I want. [/QUOTE]
