Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardcoreDandDGirl" data-source="post: 6401203" data-attributes="member: 82746">your race restriction really come off as "my way or high way" because if someone really wanted to play X you cant' consive of a reason to let them...then the answer to the question of "What do you say when someone wants to play a dragonborn" is "Oh, then I would have made my world fit dragonborn, but none of us are using the race anyway"it depends, sometimes it sounds fine... maybe we all really wanted to play elves and dwarves... then it would be "cool, sounds like fun." but if someone had spent the last few months really wanting to play a tiefling warlock then they might say "Man I really had my heart set on tiefling warlock" and then that would dove tail into a whole discussion. I agree, the important things to me are friends, story, and character. the story and character can fit 99% of games and worlds...I do to, inless the DM does something to breach that trust...see 100% on the same page here... that is like a perfect description of my play style 100% agree here too... it's amazing we have so much in common but can be at odds so much...so just to be clear, you have no problem discussing things... when you are a player, so how is that different then discussing someone playing a dragonborn?If you wanted to play those it would have come up at setting discussion, aka I don't want to play a hafling in Dragonlance, because I don't want to play in dragonlance if I want to play a hafling...Then they are a bad player and need to be beat... with a stick... no matter the setting...yes, but if the players don't want to play it, they should either a back burner it till the do, or modfie it until they do... not force people to play something they don't want to look at [MENTION=67338]GMforPowergamers[/MENTION], he is going to allow a rune priest is Athus. or look to my own DM who let warlocks run around Greyhawk...  well not really directed at me, I will just say in a Forgotten Realms game a few years back that happened... I just said "well if you want to play the rules of warforged and the fluff of being a 1 off awakened construct that would be great." and the player ran with it for months. I have seen both (although mostly the propose first) but my problem is when in that propose step, before the game starts, when just talking about creation of characters, not even dice out yet, the PC says "I don't like x restriction" isn't that the perfect time to talk it through?</blockquote>
