I legitimately wondered if there was any exception to the curated list. My players bring me 3pp options and I will review it and make a call on it. I can't know everything that exists, so I review them and make a call. I just wondered if you did the same or if the list was finite and unchanging.

WHat if I bought you the book? Now can I use it?

So if a player came to you with an option from a brand new book (say, a new subclass) and asked "can I play this?" You would have to say no because if you allowed it, you would have to allow Tortle gunslingers as well? Corollary question: how through is your list and how often do you update it?

Serious with a small sprinkle of snark. Let's review where this conversation stemmed. A poster declared that in his game a tabaxi would be lynched by locals who think he is related to a raksasha. Another poster made a comment that if they went to lynch him, they would burn the village down...

Which I was told several times in this thread. Goose meet gander

If you have that much lore for the silly elf game to justify killing a PC tiefling, I don't know what to tell you.

Your premise begins with the notion that somehow everyone knows the PCs are guilty. Apparently the PCs were dumb enough to do it in plain sight, leave witnesses, and announced their names as they did it. And everyone around saw the burned wreckage and knew it wasn't orc raiders or the cow...

Aka you will what I want and how I want. Thank you for proving my intuition correct. I wouldn't touch your game with a 11 foot pole. I've played in games like yours and I know how it ends.

I assume the government also takes care of the powerful monsters and villains as well, making sure the community is safe and doesn't need adventurers. Or do they just sit around and monitor the player characters? Sometimes crime happens and no one gets punished. Villages burn and no one is held...

I mean, I tend not to have players who burn down villages but I also don't set up lynch mobs because they are an orc or tiefling or... Tabaxi...

Dang. I KNEW I smelled museum tourism! Burn down a village because they tried to lynch a fellow PC and suddenly 20th level archmages with gank you when you sleep. Teach those players to mess with my setting! It always starts with "I have a carefully considered vision of my world" and it ends...

Yeah, my love of strongly themed campaigns (I've done pirates, paranormal investigators, crime syndicate and will be starting a Western) can somewhat override limitations because the theme is fun. For example, the paranormal investigators had people play a dhampir, hexblood and reborn along with...

Correct. Which is one of the many reasons I gave up homebrewing for a rotating series of settings depending on the game. The Internet has made finding a game easier, buts it's not order a pizza easy. I live in the suburbs of a major metropolitan area and I don't see a large call for open...

The art of compromise is to.get other people to agree with you and feel good about it. I never got an actual answer to my question: if I DO give up my Tortle, what is in it for me? If you say "a seat at the table" that was part of the initial pitch, I have my seat thank you. So let's play a...

Ouch. I'm not a fan of one species games in general. If the DM was trying to do Vampire: that Dark Ages using 5e rules, i'd question why they are using D&D and not Storyteller. But if the DM was interested in augmenting the limited species with a larger selection of classes and such (things...
