[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 7924804, member: 19675"] Houserule? Yes, depending on the game or campaign. I do so to help make it easier for the game to run the way I want it to. Some systems I houserule a great deal, some I leave nearly pristine. However, it is a tool in my toolkit I may use or opt not to for EVERY system- my use depends entirely upon the nature of the campaign I’m running and how it interacts with the system I’m using. Homebrewing is almost my default. I don’t think I’ve run a published setting as-is in 30 years, and more often than not, I’m just mining published material for [I]ideas.[/I] I have never formally published anything, but I have frequently shared ideas for rules modification, adventure/campaign designs, character brainstorming*, etc. with other players in person or on websites like this one. Well, [I]particularly [/I]this one. I’ve signed up for others, but rarely lasted more than a couple years on any of them due to various reasons. (Never been banned or hounded off, though- all the reasons were internal.) I've entered a couple of PC designs in contests. None published so far. Some of those I have shared with have claimed they’d use my ideas, but I have no confirmation of whether that was the case or not. * character brainstorming is actually one of my favorite things to do. If I can help someone realize their vision for a character or inspire them to borrow one of mine, that’s great. It’s not like I’ll have an opportunity to play all the ones I’ve come up with. As Walt Whitman said, “I am large. I contain multitudes.” [/QUOTE]
