Community Suggestion: List of Player Options
I think a system for showing players what options are available for a particular world, such as race and classes, would be super handy. Having players who join a campaign for a world and seeing the options right there could save time for the GM explaining what they allow and don't allow for that particular world.
It could just be a list of options, a brief description of each option, and the source where the information can be found. Maybe even have something like the discussion board for suggesting more options to the GM.

on 2022-11-04 03:06In addition to generic articles, I don't see why this couldn't just be a folder with articles for each race or class in them. I do that and ensure it's one of the first things my players see by displaying it with a book cover and titling it "Player Options." If people want to suggest things, there are comments.

on 2022-11-03 06:22I get people say generic articles can do this and its a good point, though a specific bit for introducing homebrew world stuff is a nice thought, plus helping people organise and structure it better.

on 2022-11-02 15:53I feel that the functionality being requested is already available through existing features. Generic articles with the listed information and links to the relevant articles is fairly simple to execute. I have several 'primer' articles that are required reading for my players that explain the Campaign Setting and other important context for the species and classes available to the players.

on 2022-10-28 13:22This is exactly what articles are for. I have a detailed listing for each race in my world, their history, secrets, and customs. Also, as a GM I want to at least allow my players the opportunity to try something I hadn't anticipated. Maybe they've come from another world, or their race was previously unknown. Maybe they are the first of their kind, created in a lab/magical accident. I think the time and interaction of the GM explaining is exactly what gives value to having players choose.
