I house rule the crap out of almost all my games*, and have almost since I started playing. When I first started playing, the GM ran things BTB, but when I got into gaming a little more, with a different DM, he used an almost completely re-written house ruled version of 1E. He also ran games using a system he devised. So I've always been of the house ruling mindset - it just didn't limit itself to D&D. It's always been quite common when someone goes to gen a char for a game of mine, I hand them a 1" binder and say "These are the changes." For my Rifts/Megaverse game, it was a 3" binder.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> *My current game, Hercules and Xena, has a few house rules, but it's one of the lightest rules mods I've ever done, comparable only to the limited ruling I did for a CoC game. I've actually been trying to get away from house ruling so much, just to make game prep easier. Plus I get tired of hearing my players gripe about some house rules - always the ones which make things harder for them, because they seem to forget that the game has to be enjoyable for me as well.</blockquote>
