[QUOTE="Mark, post: 975825, member: 5"] So, does everything about a game HAVE to be fun, or can you play a game that is just mostly fun? I see a lot of threads debating different aspects of the game and there seems to be some leeway for what some folks will consider worthwhile restrictions and rules...until someone plays the "fun" card. Everyone who plays that card seems to have a different line in the sand at which point they drop it into the discussion and say if a game has to have such and such, they simply don't think it would be fun and they simply will not play that way. So where's your breaking point? What rule have you changed because it ruins the game for you otherwise? What new rule will make it so you will not convert to the new rules? If you sat down at a table to play where people claimed to being playing D&D, what rule being used would have to be changed for you not to say that you just can't play under those conditions because it isn't fun that way?
