While I listed "after a few adventures" - I will often take ambiguities and note my decisions in my notes-file during the reading process. And check them against errata if I can.
I try to avoid houseruling when I can.

I suppose it varies on how big of a houserule it ends up being as well. Smaller changes mostly for flavor area pretty easy to do and usually aren't big, cascading mechanical changes.
But the bigger impact ones are usually "after a few adventures" when you really feel that pain point and identify what impacts the change would have.

I'd rather avoid house ruling if I must, but I always apply my own RPG "philosophies" to any games with binary pass/fail mechanics. Most of the time, however, the games that I like already include my type of ideas in their rules.
I usually know if I want to tweak things after playing a few sessions, so I answered "After a few adventures".

I definitely have started tinkering with houserules before games have even been released after reading previews.
But that's the beauty and freedom of TRPGs.

I actually made this poll because i see people saying stuff like that all the time. It baffles me, but you do you.
Can you give an example of something you have houseruled before even playing because you knew your group would not like the rule as designed?

Yes, more than a couple and I think about playing something else. I voted after a few adventures as well.
