[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8414140, member: 5142"] A lot of games can handle changes here and there, but (1) you need to know where the game can handle said changes without breaking it, and (2) the game may still not be designed for your gaming preferences or style. Dungeon World, for example, is kitbashable and flexible enough to handle changes and tweaks. There is a ton of fan content designed for it and tweaks made to it, but PbtA is definitely not a system for you to turn into his next version of your heavily houseruled 1e game. You may want to read that again. Nowhere does Ovinomancer say that businesses should tell people not to be its customers. He's saying that customers should sometimes realize that a product is not designed specfically with them in mind and adjust their expectations accordingly. Lamborgini may want me to buy their sports car, but that doesn't mean that they are to blame if my self-created failed expectations are that I can drive it like an off-road vehicle.

Then why spend your time complaining about WotC era D&D when you have a houseruled version of an edition that you enjoy, very likely aren't going to move on from, and doesn't affect your table in any way?
