I find this really helps weed out a lot of the cancerous players. So many of these fucks take a look at humans and say "nah that's not special snowflake enough for me". Nah, you can earn the privilege of playing these races. Or else get the fuck out of my game.

>by default, players get to play as human Well, since this is the most powerful race, I see no reason why I would complain. Playing anything else is just stupid.
Hunter Rogers
You sound like a terrible, unfun GM.
Please off yourself for your player's sake.

Players get to play different races depending on the setting. Some settings don't have elves. Some have everything. Some don't have Gnomes or Halflings because I just don't like them.
Zachary Jones
This. A lot of the games used to run were based in the HR books from 2E so human was mandatory.
Also I never saw a point in halflings they are not stealthy, just small. I usually replace them with goblins. The players who choose goblin tend to have a lot of fun playing them.
Logan Smith
Depends on the setting we're playing in. My players prefer humans, so usually most of the party will be humans.
Gabriel Adams
I like this. I'd play this. Do you any other rolled stuff with it? Like background events, actually rolling the starting cash, maybe stats. Rolling class might also be fun, like have a setting where not everyone is capable of magic, especially not the broadest full caster kind of magic.
Isaiah Barnes
Play gnomes like those gestapo fucks from Zilargo, god damn it. You have a solution, use it instead of banning things
Christian Gonzalez
This doesn't sound very fun at all. Why can't people play what they want to, as long as it fits the setting?
