[QUOTE="Belen, post: 1477867, member: 1405"] When the players start spending 10-20 hours per week outside the actual game session preparing for said game session, then they can have equal voice. Players act as if denying one single race or class is the end of the world and they do nothing but show up and update their sheets. For instance, on my world there are no half-orcs. Why? Orcs cannot breed with non-orcs. However, I just happen to have an entire race that fills the niche of the half-orcs. In your worldview, someone should be able to play a half-orc because the example I just gave is "GM arbitrary fiat." Well, if said player wants half-orcs in the world, then said player should be the GM. That player should spend a LARGE portion of their week trading their time in order to provide pleasure for a group of people rather than whinging because one class or race is not allowed. A player has equal say when they spend equal time on the campaign. If they show up, play, and update a character sheet, then do not expect me to hand them the keys to the car and free passes to Disney. [/QUOTE]
