Message: <blockquote data-quote="Korgoth" data-source="post: 4527722" data-attributes="member: 49613">I'm not running or playing 4E. If I were running it, my preference would be that, supposing WOTC decides to do anime-style content, that they keep it in one or more self-contained books. They can do "Heroes of Underage Schoolgirl and Pink Mecha" if they want. They can do a whole series if they want. But I really wouldn't want to see the content sprinkled in among other, unrelated content... since that would make it harder to excise. Or, if it must be interspersed, attach a keyword to it so that the DM can just say "The 'chibi' powersource may not be used in this game" or whatever. At least that.As far as what happens at my table... if I'm running, say, a Tolkien-clone game (not my speed, just an example) then if someone shows up who insists on being a dragonborn or a ninja or whatever: I say no. If I'm a player and I have signed on for one thing, I don't want the whole deal to get switched around on me just to accomodate one person's taste ("I *only* play motorcycle ninja cyborgs, regardless of the game system!").It's not irrational to ban anime, dragonborn, gunpowder (see, I threw in one that *I* like), spelljamming, etc. from the table. It's not irrational because it's a matter of taste... and I don't want any chocolate sauce on my steak, thanks. That's no dig against chocolate sauce, they just don't go together.You talk of compromise. Suppose we're all sharing chips and salsa at a restaurant before our meal. You attempt to add mayonaise to the salsa. Everyone else gets on your case. Have you been unfairly maligned? No. You tried to do something that you like but would ruin it for everybody else. So you have to lay off the mayo or go get your own bowl of salse (game).</blockquote>
