[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 4300734, member: 70"] I never forced anyone. Not one player ever bought me a book. Then again, not one player of mine ever bought a book I didn't already own. My 2e library was $4000+ (cover price); my 3e library is more. It doesn't matter if you ban the entire book or one sentence, if that sentence is the one the player wants. It comes down to where you draw the line between DM perogative and player perogative. I encourage my players to help develop my world, but in the end, it's my world and my setting. Did I disallow books? Absolutely. No psionics, no incarnum (not that anyone asked), no epic. I would've allowed binders, but probably not shadowmagic or truenamers. And I made that clear to everyone that joined the group. It had nothing to do with balance, and everything to do with a) versimilitude of the setting, and b) my burden, as a DM, to be familiar and comfortable with the rules. I don't think its fair of a player to ask a DM to run a game using rules the DM isn't familiar with and probably doesn't even own! This is entirely off topic, though -- I'll not reply to this again in this thread. Maybe in a new one. [/QUOTE]
