[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8025750, member: 22779"] See, there seems to a conflation of issues here. On one hand, we're talking about adding tabaxi or dragonborn or tieflings to Mystara. That's not exactly a stretch since stuff that already looks pretty much exactly like that already exists. Someone wants to play a Tabaxi? Well, in Mystara Tabaxi are called Rakasta. Dragonborn? There's five (or more) different options for scaley folk, fill your boots. Tieflings might be a bit more problematic since Mystara doesn't have devils in it. But, here's a Diaboli and that fits the bill pretty closely. On the other hand, you have the clockwork, steampunk elf from another dimension that clearly doesn't fit in the campaign. Fair enough. That's a table issue, and needs to be worked out because obviously the player and the DM are not on the same page. There's zero buy in from the player at that point and that's going to cause all sorts of problems in the game. Fair enough. There's a rather large middle ground here that seems to be getting ignored.
