[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 9002208, member: 5142"] The power and authority to kitbash games does not comes from a rule or a system. It comes from the people of the hobby. I guarantee you that if you removed any mention of Rule 0 or any statement that told people that they could kitbash the game that people would still kitbash the game. It's what people do. Maybe that is the real harm of Rule 0. It deceives people into thinking that this "rule" is what gives them the ability to kitbash the game when it actually comes from the people in the hobby. Except this is not true. Kit-bashing, house rules, and the like happens in practically all games. I will hammer this point home until you finally remember, but Hasbro was actually surprised to learn that many people had their own house rules for Monopoly that differed from the official rules. Guess what? There is no rule in Monopoly that lets them kitbash the game or make house rules. The same is also true for Uno. When I play Uno with other people, I always ask what their rules are because it's often that the rules that people use are not the same as the official rules. How could these people do it?
