[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8607393, member: 50987"] When I first started playing, I didn't tinker with anything. We were running B/X and BECM rules, and that system was fluid enough to handle just about any curve we wanted to throw into it. I used the rules and lists in the books, and played the published adventures. When we started playing 3rd Edition, I was house-ruling literally everything. That rules system was so rigorous that it seemed like I needed a written rule for nearly every possible situation and circumstance, and my players [I]loved [/I]to take me to task about them on the regular. By the time we stopped playing, my collection of House Rules was almost a hundred pages. It had my own classes and prestige classes, my own rules for crafting and naval combat, you name it. And I was writing my own adventures at the time, too. Nowadays, I create my own lists and I write my own adventures, but I leave the rules alone and play them as-written. My players either love this or hate this, depending on the last number they rolled, but I find that I enjoy the game a lot more. I'd rather be world-building than drafting up new rules. [/QUOTE]
