D&D 5E "When (or If) I play(ed) in multiple 5E D&D games, I'd want them to all use the same rules/house rules." (a poll)

[el-remmen]

Let's say you are one of the lucky few to have the time to play in more than on 5E game at a time. If that is or were the case would the following statement be true or false for you:

"When (or If) I play in multiple 5E D&D games, I want them to all use the same rules/house rules."

I don't think any two campaigns I've ever played used the same set of house rules.

I don't think any two campaigns I've ever played used the same set of house rules.

Okay, but the question is, if you'd want them to.

Im good with variety. I'll step out if its abridge too far.

Every game should in my view have its rules dialed into the experience it's trying to create at the table. Since I expect that few campaigns will be exactly alike, I would expect that most campaigns will have different house rules to support the visions of those games.

False.

Literally one of the draws to playing in multiple games (for me) is that they often have different rules/house rules. Like one DM will be an anything goes, all races, all classes guy, but maybe he has some weird ideas about skill usage, another will have a tighter vision but she has some well-thought-through house rules that improve the game etc.

Not for me - I'm quite happy for house rules to vary from house to house.

 

[Reynard]

Every table and campaign is different.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I'm not too fond of a lot of house rules (or to be more exact, I'm dubious about many DMs' ability to implement them - the more they use, the more dubious I will be) but every DM has a few things that they do differently than each other (or different than I would do it) and I'm absolutely fine with that.

Ultimately, if I sit at someone's table, I play by their rules, whether I agree with them or not.

Same. And I'd never want them to, either.
