Since you complain about partial quotes... What happened here? I don't think that you cleared the bar needed to justify that question. You quoted 1190 while asking that ay1190 starts with the words "Tortles don't exist in my world. Why do you want to play one?" Very strip that striked bit...

I skipped 4e but ran and played all the way back to ad&d2e. I don't know what you are talking about because classes didn't work that way back in the old days

Im literally in the process of having cocktails with a friend who has been a friend/player I've made cocktails for before and took that picture of my home bar thinking about bringing it up with the caviar talk earlier. Some of y'all act like you would expect a similarly stocked bar from any...

NO That is not one person working with another person because that is literally how AI gets trained You are placing a human GM in the role of what CGPGrey calls a teacher bot and expecting both sides to function as an ai like described. You are so caught up in shifting all responsibility for...

That's not working with the gm though, it's hammering the gm with an uncompromising rapid fire shotgun blast of throw away take it or leave it characters described with so little care that it makes the catchy names used to describe common heavily optimized builds in their guides sound downright...

"Many" is not the same as making literally anything as is because roleplaying. I'm still waiting for you to stop dodging the question from earlier and fill in details on the inverted stormwind mentioned in 1133 that you consistently seem to be expecting GMs to follow

You are blatant avoiding the question and it looks like a dog whistle or poor recollection of things discussed. Are you saying that applies to eberron darksun dragonlance forgotten realms and other official settings that have come up repeatedly throughout the discussion? If so it seems like...

It has nothing to do with morality and I mentioned this in at least one post. The reason why the player should be expected to compromise and adapt their PC to the campaign/setting rather than the gm adapting the campaign/setting to the character is simply because the average table has one gm &...

@AlViking wrt your 1127 reply, I should have taken the time to find & link to the post so I could have been more clear, I'm literally the person who brought it up back in 777 while talking about an actual gm<>player interaction of mine from years ago. The question was more why those sort of...

That's a good question that I'd really like to see the "it's MY character, & it hay it may not fit the setting and that's not my problem to make it fit" crowd answer. Multiple posters have mentioned past games they played or ran where those types of changes were suggested. The closest attempt...

It's not surprising how many of the "I disagree and quit reading the post" crowd are suddenly complaining that you aren't doing enough to prove your point to people where openly admit they did not bother reading through posts they chose to respond to. I'll add to this though because just last...

It depends on where/when the game takes place and others have already pointed out some of it. If you are genz younger millennial or somehow never really watched trek prior to tng it's easy to think how easy it might be to bring in a Klingon, but that simply was not true until worf served under...

Except I wasn't writing that objective assessment about "a player who wants to play a tortle". I was writing it about the statement "can I play a tortle" because that is the question that was made earlier. That question can be judged at an objective level because it lacks any additional...

There was a large number of words detailing that "no" is the forum acting up in some way causing you not to see the rest of the post?

No, the statement you are :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:'ing at is often linked to problems caused by a topic that came up earlier in the thread. Even if you assume that first type of player simply for purposes of discussion, a statement like the "can I play a tortle" one I was responding to...

Did you get space sickness moving that goalpost? how did you get to that from players getting setting/campaign "instructions" that are unclear to them but shrugging it off and acting as if they were clear rather than asking for clarification?

I don't mind size large PCs... at least in 3.5 when being that big took a big hit to ac and dex saves to offset the huge benefits of taking up 4 squares on the grid. Squeezing rules exist for a reason. I tried adding a similar rule to 5e games at a couple points and the sticking point was not...

Maybe maybe & ffs. With dragon born my go to is to point out that dragons have a pretty important role in the setting (nearly god;analog in some cases and how all of the lore next to their race entry is mostly fr-centric in problematic ways so it would be best if they do so just saying their PC...
