[QUOTE="Lanliss, post: 7112264, member: 6801219"] No, my point is that the particular issue you are pointing out (Players being mad that they have to sit there and do nothing) probably isn't an issue when the OP is playing with a group of players that think the same way he/she does. There are still plenty of points of discussion, like how you might make rules to support the requested type of gameplay, and a healthy discussion on the pros and cons of the yours vs. OP. The issue you are pointing out is specific to playing with random people, or people who don't want to play in the particular way you are aiming for, hence my first response to you about assuming the OP is playing with unknown quantities rather than others who think the same way he/she does. If you assume the OP is playing with others that want the same style of game, than there doesn't need to be a discussion warning them that their players might not enjoy it. Also, if my first post seemed only directed at you, I apologize. I meant it in the general sense, since I see this happen fairly often. Someone will put up some sort of house rule, and there will be a number of people talking about how open it is to abuse, or how it kills the game if applied to the way they play. Most houserule discussions require a certain level of putting yourself in the OPs shoes, so that you can consider it from the perspective of their game rather than your own, otherwise there are just a bunch of side discussions about how a given person would abuse it.
