There's a blog post doing the rounds about the importance of rules.
-
Completely ignoring the rules can result in certain types of failure-state but there was a lad on here the other day who seems lovely but he was looking for players because it takes him three sessions to finish a single fight and people keep leaving. That is a different type of failure-state.
Bad sessions are bad sessions. The moralising and hand-wringing over people doing things differently is profoundly dumb and unhelpful.
@Taskerland they are also very educative as a GM. The number of bad games I've been in totally shaped my own style of "Well, I am *never* doing that, or acting like that"

@Taskerland But I think that's best done in your teen age years. I don't think as a old crumbly I have sufficient time left on the planet to learn a lot of lessons through other people wasting my evenings.

@Taskerland I think the danger is I'm less likely to just take it on the chin and more likely to become increasingly truculent

@Taskerland That's different, that's covered under the social contract I think, like being out for a drink with someone and they talk about 1970s sci-fi gargoyles all night.

@Taskerland As we've discussed many times, rules and hints are easy do lists of, developing structural advice about the social contract? That's almost religion
