House rules have been a part of tabletop gaming since its inception, and it’s understood that even Gary had mixed feelings about them, as they made it less profitable for him if people came up with their own ideas for his game instead of buying books.

The rules and procedures provided here are based on what has worked well for us in our own gaming sessions. However, they might not always suit your needs.

Like tools, you need to understand how and when to use them, and when to replace them with something better suited to your game.

In our opinion, these house rules make the game more fun and enjoyable while respecting the game’s foundation. In most cases, we are promoting our own adaptations of official optional rules and highlighting those optional rules.
