[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5431621, member: 19675"] Yeah, ditto. But unfortunately, its the nature of the beast. Almost nobody houserules boardgames until they lose the actual rules. RPGs, OTOH, are as prone to houserules as Border Collies are to OCD. Because its not just the alterations to extant rules, its the inclusions, bans and ignores as well. No RPG is perfect, and anyone who has played a game for a while has had some kind of epiphany about how they can "improve" the game. For 3.X, I tend to run things wide open, allowing stuff from all kinds of 3PP stuff...if you show it to me first. But that still means that someone coming into the game is going to be missing things if they don't look at some of my favorite sources, like AU/AE, BotR, Midnight 2Ed, etc. About the purest game I run is HERO. I don't bar any power unless its not campaign appropriate. But I do keep an eagle eye on Disads, and I do insist on looking at PCs before play, if for no other reason than to see that everything is kosher. I have no doubt, though, that someone may eventually come up with a combo I'll just say "nope" to. [/QUOTE]
