And you are correct, if that is the only DM you play with, and they don't allow tortles, then you will not get a chance to play one. And you are correct, some DMs never switch up their world. So, you're stuck.But, you are not stuck with this. You can find different groups. Even moderate cities of 50,000 people have many groups. Game stores exist. If you are the rare exception of living in the small town with no options (like some small Alaskan village with no internet), then your DM should let you. But let's face it, that is a very rare occurrence in a world where thousands of online groups exist, thousands of in-person groups exist, paid groups exist, and groups start up every week from scheduled play.And it is false that you are "abandoning my current group." You can play with two groups. One, where your tortle fits in, and one where your tortle is not allowed. And please, stop being dramatic. It's not about whether people are "your friends." Friends can disagree about playstyles. We used to all the time when we were young. "Too many magic items," from one DM. "You can't play an orc in a Middle Earth campaign," from another. "I want to play this system," and "I want to play this other system," from someone else. "Leave the sci-fi out of it," from a player. "I want more sci-fi," from a different player. That happens all the time. Deal with it. Play for six months in a system you don't like or a sci-fi campaign. It will not kill you. In fact, it might even help you appreciate it.</blockquote>
