Do you go in RAW 100%?

[Dannyalcatraz]

Anyone going into design really needs to play things that are not D&D, and play them RAW, before trying to "improve on D&D."

I can agree with that.

It isn't like I have an auditor check my work, or anything. I do not find purity of sufficient value to concern myself about it.

I’d say your players are your auditors. If they’re having fun, you’ve passed your audit.
