Episode 250: Strange Character Requests, Gaming Perspectives with Saul and Jolene

After GMing for any significant period of time one has to deal with some unusual character requests.  Sometimes players want to try something new or just different.  Every once in a while a player will approach the GM with a very unusual or strange character idea.  
     This got Saul and Jolene wondering what the most unusual character requests have been put forth by players.  Jolene found on Reddit about a player that wanted to play a 5 year of Tiefling.  Saul remembered a story about a player that wanted to play a very old bar owner.
     What should you consider when a player asks to play a very unusual character.  One that as a GM believe might break your game or world or not fit in to the group's idea of a good character.
   

 Thank you all for listening
