[QUOTE="MostlyDm, post: 6876808, member: 6788973"] This has always seemed like such an odd internet phenomenon to me. Depending on the game, I typically run with dozens of house rules. They vary. One of my longest running campaigns (not 5e) is more house rule than core rule at this point. The GMs I know do the same. The rules are not going to fit perfectly for every scenario. It's inevitable. Frankly, I think if I sat down at someone's table and they said they had NO house rules? I'd probably walk. Because either they mean it, because they lack the system mastery to understand what things they want changed... or they have hidden house rules because they're the kind of person to willfully interpret things as they like and pretend it's the only way to interpret... Or some combination of both. I've made exceptions for new DMs that haven't decided what they want to change yet. But a seasoned DM that claims they have no house rules? Nah. Not for me. [/QUOTE]
