"Based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system"Yet there is nothing magical about "feedback" or "playtesting" that makes the resulting product good for everyone.It seems you trust the designers more than the gamers. I trust the gamers as much as the designers to know what will work at their table. It seems you approach these house rule proposals as something different than a group's very own playtesting. The same playtesting you laud designers for doing. I see them as one and the same. I trust gamers to know what will work at their table and to fix it as soon it doesn't. There doesn't need to be some official procedure which rules must be sandboxed before allowed into a game. Everyone's game is a continuous playtest IMO, decisions for house rules that come from it are definitionally not arbitrary.</blockquote>
