Would you play in a campaign with racial/class limits of it fits the story?

As Danny just told you in another discussion, you really need to familiarize yourself with the Terms and rules of this site. There's a link to them on the bottom of every single page of these forums.

Comments on moderation in the thread are apt to get you bounced with alacrity.

cool! I won't point out any such bad behavior again. Saying I won't do it again is "challenging moderation"???

Yeah, everyone thinks their snide commentary is awesome.

Bounced, with alacrity, from the discussion.

Would I play in a campaign with limitations on race/class options?

Um, yes. But there's a lot more important criteria that I look for before deciding to join someone's game. This isn't really one of them.

Some advice: if you have a question about some mod action you can PM the moderator instead of adding such questions via the edit post function. The mods are usually good about trying to answer such questions.

I'm fine with it as long as the prohibited classes and races are the ones I dislike.

Less so if they're my favorite classes and races.






What?

Mod Note:

éxypnos has already been bounced from this thread, but managed to pick up a SECOND warning point for challenging moderation by sarcastic use of emojis. This is the second poster to have done this in the past couple of weeks.

Please do not emulate this behavior yourself.

Depends what the limitations are, for me.

I don't mind a DM limiting what characters I can play in terms of species and-or class as long as there's still a bit of variety left (a few playable species, several classes) to choose from once said limits are imposed. I'd get bored pretty quick with an all-one-species or all-one-class campaign.

I'll probably walk, however, as soon as a DM tries to limit how I can play said characters.

I've found starting as a single race and then opening up new races based on how our factions relations with the races around us develop makes for an interesting approach.

Of course, and have done before.
Sometimes a class / race doesn't fit.
Or they are the baddies.

I ran Rime not allowing clerics as they were "too busy aiding the populace".
I've run games were there were no sorcerors because the whole concept was the party were hunters of such rogue casters

Limitations strike me as pretty much necessary in order to create anything interesting and memorable.

I tend to imagine the rules as a huge mane of shaggy hair that invariably need shaping into something resembling a proper haircut.
