The fun police came to seize your illegal fun since you did not follow the rules in the book.

Hold on! Are you guys LAUGHING?!?! According to page 205 of the rulebook, this is not an approved moment for gelotological expulsions!

If everyone's having fun, you are playing the game correctly. everything else is secondary

House Rules: - No House Rules (except for being able to play a +4 ontop of a +4 card in UNO because Mattel is wrong)

Rule 1 in several gaming systems is always DM/GM Fiat. Don't matter what the book says, the person running the game can alter the deal. And you better pray they don't alter it *further*.

Just not Burning Wheel. God forbid your session doesn't match _precisely_ what the creator had in mind.

And Rule 0 is always "have fun", which trumps even the DM. Because, after all, what the DM says goes, but if he abuses this, the players also go.

But Tom would never get a rule or game concept wrong!

That's why they pay him to read not to lead. So he always knows all the rules

I love thinking about how the angry mailers are in chat silently malding to their reactions to the emails. lmao

Im surprised the "problem" was that they did skill checks when they werent supposed to. In my experience, the complaint is that the GM just gives the players what they want without rolling.

Tom should have just replied to that email with a picture of that "rip out" page in the rule book. Or better yet, rip out the page, and then just mail it to them.

What happens if you rip out the page that tells you to rip out the pages you don't like?

“the rules be more guidelines then actual rules”

I can't believe I've been watching this and enjoying myself when they were having fun the wrong way all along. In a way, that means I've been having fun wrong! We've all been doing fun WRONG! From now on, I'm only having fun according to the approved rulebook!

I thought this said they were “playing the wrong game”. Now I have a strange new desire to see that video lol

Rule 1 when I DM, “If the rules hinder fun, ignore them!”

Even from a basic perspective, some nerds really really need to work on their interpersonal skills. Fine, if you disagree with something, then you're free to say so, I guess. But starting off a conversation with a stranger with a straight up accusation speaks volumes. How do these people get on in their professional lives?

He's paid to lead! Not read!

Tom and Ben don't really believe in fun. That's more of a boomer-era thing.

There are two rules in my games; 1. Have fun and let everyone else have fun 2. Stay safe (as in let me know anything to avoid beforehand and talk to me if you have a problem)

seemingly some people don't know they're on the spectrum (or how to deal with it...)

Honestly I know it's probably really annoying and all, but I do like that the people who watch them play these games are so truly passionate about them that they have to go to these lengths to get the message across, it's nice (in a way)

Rules are gay
