[QUOTE="Shasarak, post: 6764769, member: 94143"] In my opinion, the objections DMs have for incorporating their players ideas into their worlds usually come from the fact that either the DM is too lazy to do it or to proud to do it. There is literally no one on this forum (except for the resident AI) that could hold the entirety of a DnD world in their brain at once. Take the world with "No Dwarves" for example - Is there really no mountain range anywhere on your world where a tribe of humanoids could not be living that no one else knows about? Or the "No Elves" world for example - Is there no possible way for a group of wood dwelling humanoids to set up camp in a forest anywhere on your world? And now add in the possibility of planar travel, or Spelljamming or just plain "A Wizard did it" and now tell me that you could not have those things. Because frankly an undiscovered tribe of Dwarves is not going to break your game and may actually make one of your Players enjoy your world more then they would have if they were stuck playing random Human. So in conclusion, I am with [MENTION=67338]GMforPowergamers[/MENTION] on this one - I will play your game for a session or maybe a month or two, but if you want a serious campaign then I have to play something that interests me, not what interests you.
