Do You Use Your RPG Rules as Written?



Don't forget to chime in on the entire RPG Survey Round-Up!

A game with no House Rules at all? That has to be the extreme minority.

 

[hexgrid]

Yes, I use my RPG rules as written.

But also, I don't use my RPG rules as written.

 

[Mallus]

Hell no.

 

[The Shaman]

My house rules tend to be tweaks here and there rather than whole-sale systemic changes, so I would say yes, pretty much.

 

[Crothian]

Ya, I use them as written. I also add new ones.

Apparently not. Before I voted it was neck-and-neck. Now its 7-6 in favour of 'No'.

EDIT: And by the time I had finished composing this post, it was 9-6. Maybe the No vaote was just slow to mobilise.

I use most of the rules as written, since if I didn't I would be better off either finding a game that sat with me better or write my own. However, I have a few house rules that I use.

 

[Psion]

I use the rules. I don't let the rules use me.

Which is to say I use them as long and as far as they work for what I am trying to acheive. As soon as they don't, I'm not shy about changing or overruling them... preplanned or on the spot, as the case may be.

Still I am surprised at how many 'yes'es to 'no's there are. I do not think I have ever played in a game that was 100 legit outside of RPGA or Conventions.
