<snip the part about stupid people>
The main reason that alot of us want an official ruling Losthalo is
because (for example) we are going to gencon to play in a SR tournament,
and when we get there we will be using the rules as they stand in the
BBB and such. If we are unclear on th ose rules, and the GM isn't sure
how to play it, because he may play differently normally than the other
two people running games for the tourney, and voila we have a big pain
in the ass trying to figure out what to do. Now we all use house rules,
we have a ton in fact (check out Loki's web page) but what about when we
move to another game we have to adjust these. Most of the time that's
no big deal, but if the rules are all laid out then it alleviates the
need for 900 house rules and trying to figure out what the rules are in
each game you play in. As long as you always play with the same group
then you are correct in saying that it is no big deal, but alot of us
are bringing in new players that played with someone else and switching
around to different games, and especially when we go to things like
gencon, it would be pretty darn handy to know what the rules are going
to be when we got there.
