I know that there are gamers out there that truly need and desire a rule for all minutae in a game but I just did not think it went this far.The way I look at a game, and I acknowledge this to be very subjective, is that all I truly need rules for are various resolutions of situations. Don't get hung up on semantics, I embrace a wide range of interpretation of that sentence. Essentially, you need a means to define how things get done. This might be spending points in a diceless game or rolling dice in a more traditional RPG but it comes down to getting from point A to point B in order to accomplish my goals while I play out the role I have chosen for my character.The question I feel almost silly asking is, do you feel you need "meta" rules for your character? For example, a rule that tells you you are doing this for that reason and some kind of stick within the system to make sure you abide by you meta rule. If I want to play the role of a bastard who then has a change of heart I do not want to reference half a dozen rules in order to do so nor face a penalty for doing so (short of betraying a god or the like). I am not just talking alignment for a paladin, I can live with that. I am talking about rules for behavior of your character.hmm, a bit more ranty than initially intended but hopefully got the question across.Bill</blockquote>
