[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 9011537, member: 71699"] In what ways is the function of rules very different with/without the authority to modify rules in real time? One way I've thought about that is that there is a pre-existing capacity to change rules, so no rules are needed for that; but where rules are potentially needed is to regulate who can change rules and when. So where Monopoly has nothing ruling in or out the changing of rules during play, prelusory goals and the lusory attitude, as well as principles like COWTRA, would suggest that it's not ruled in. (Silence on N must mean that N is not ruled in, otherwise there is no end to the things that are ruled in through silence.) The Moldvay edition of Basic D&D has this to say - Which obviously rules-in changing the rules, and - what's interesting to me - that players and referee may both do that. As for whether it's corrosive, I would not characterise it that way from my experience, but equally I cannot speak to your experience. [/QUOTE]
