[QUOTE="Lwaxy, post: 5776784, member: 53286"] It's very common around here (middle of Germany). You have to, of course, pick your groups. If you have people who depend or insist on the rules then it is not working; however I make it clear from the beginning that the rules are there as a framework to keep the game balanced and fun. When they stop doing that or get in the way of realism, we go with the balance and the realism. Yup, at times, this leads to discussions as to how exactly something works in such a case. Does that somehow undermine the GMs? Not in our groups. Maybe I'm pampered because we do not have rules lawyers and argumentative players. We do, however, have a rules guru with an impressive mind for even the slightest rules changes and interpretations of the games we play (including house rules) so we are usually able to keep things consistent pretty well. However if there would be a rules set fixing such obvious flaws as with the barbarian rage example ( we have had very few sessions without a barbarian actually) I'd be happy. [/QUOTE]
