I’ve been making custom rules for D&D and other games for years, shaping the game to fit the way I want it to run. It might be some idea I saw in a movie or book, or perhaps evolves out of an in-game issue, but I’m generally the one coming up with new stuff.
While I always listen to my players for sticking points we can fix or smooth out, I find I’m generally the one who comes up with houserules out of the blue (before game, as much as feasible) or after seeing some gap/issues and only tend to tweak/discard them if it causes issues within the group. I’m obviously a Dictator in this sense.
So, do you work with your players in the first place to create your houserules or do you create and implement them without first consulting players? Or perhaps you do a bit of both?
