Sure, but to me the standard healing rules feel like an absurd action movie parody.

Even in action movies, you can get hurt in a way that affects you in more than appearance.

Yeah. In most versions of D&D and similar games, you can't really be "injured" at all, because hit point damage has no effect at all...

Though to be fair, with the current natural healing rates this is absurd too. How can you have suffered real injuries if you're...

that is not what @Umbran wrote. The question was ‘Do you understand the reasons folks want GMs to follow some rules, generally?’

A lot of metacurrency doesn't automatically come to you either. But I think if you don't understand why the "meta" part of that matters...

I do have fun with them, and avoid meta-currency and other rules not representing something in the setting whenever possible. If my...
