[QUOTE="kolvar, post: 1784249, member: 1423"] creativity, mhm. Well I would say, that the more you are restricted, the more you have to be creative to achieve, what you want. But that is, actually, not important here. I just wanted to say: I own lots of RPG-books (last count 150 (Oh, damn, what does this say about me, that I count them :confused: )). And I try only to buy those I think I can use. I am a houserules-fetishist, who likes to tinker with rules to get what I want to play (probably the only reason I do dming more than playing ;) ). But I have found, that my players mostly game by the standard rules (or a few free supplements like netbook of feats and gryphons tome of feats (both I never liked for no particular reason I could think of, other than that the feats described there often come together as an rather odd mix for power-gamers)), because they are not that into the gaming and do not own those books I own. I often try to show them new possibilities for their charakters and sometimes they say: "great! I want to play that." but more often they just try to do role-playing.
