[QUOTE="Cruentus, post: 9193960, member: 7034645"] When we had rules questions during play, or edge cases, or unclear situations (TTRPG, Board Game, Miniatures Game, etc.), I would (usually) be the one to go searching for an "official" errata or clarification. It would then be brought back to the group for us to discuss - and either adopt, or not. In the earlier days of Dragon (Ad&d era) with "Sage Advice", I had a sub, and we were always referring to their FAQs and erratas. Primarily, IIRC, because we were playing a confrontational style of gaming - the DM was out to get us, and we were out to survive. So rules interpretations of grey areas mattered to us. Now, with age (and we still all game together 40 years later), it matters less. I'm more interested in interesting story/RP and emergent gameplay that I don't fuss with being exactly correct. Unless I'm asked to step back into "rules lawyer" mode. (And I will also note that my rules lawyering back then hurt the party (helped the DM), as much as the inverse. I was an equal opportunity rules lawyer :giggle:. I was the only one my DM and other players trusted to make an unbiased read of the various rules under discussion.) [/QUOTE]
