What Races Do You Allow?

[Dannyalcatraz]

After reading through these boards ive started to see that people seem to treat D and D more like neverwinter or some kind of pc game where these is very little penalty for taking wierd classes such as half-orc or Ogre. If we read some of the orginal D & D universe were lead to be these races are shunned and treated with disdain, for example your likely to get shot walking up to the keep on the borderlands if your an ogre. To cute a long story short my question is what races do you guys allow and do you have penalties involved such as above?

What I allow depends upon the campaign I'm running. Some are restricted to PHB + a few select races, some are WAHOO!!!! and the only barrier is that I have to approve it.

FWIW: Ditto for spells, classes and any other mechanical element.
