But in my own game, I do what I want. If there's a rule I don't like, its out the window.DMs need to wake up and remember its their game. The whole idea of player power in 3x is nonsense. If you change a rule and a player asks you why, the answer is literally "because I said so."Now, there's nothing wrong with being rational and upfront with players, and there's certainly the matter of consistency (changing rules in the middle of a campaign can be a problem). But if start a new game with a new sets of rules, then if you don't like it, run your own game!!I think the nostalgia people have over older gaming is just that...nostalgia. Its back in the glory days when everyone had endless time to game, you didn't worry about jobs and money and wives, you just sat back and let it ride. I'm starting to go through that a bit myself, having just left college and realizing how much harder gaming in the "real world" is. But that doesn't mean the system has gotten worse, nor does it mean a more freeform system is better.</blockquote>
