There should be an easy way to declare "system rules" (/etc/systemrules) and "house rules" for software to follow
Please stop defining new global/universal standards, instead define a way for the SysOp to declare local rules, system rules, house rules and obey them
We just came across this variant random encounter rule by Dungeon Master Diaries: The Crawling Clock...
... which is inspired by / based on Goblin Punch's Underclock write-up. https://goblinpunch.blogspot.com/2023/04/the-underclock-fixing-random-encounter.html
CASTING | SEVEN eyes comeback in renovation TV with new series

What rules do we play by?
It’ll end with a failure on the part of the majority, apostasy in the church, wickedness increasing on the earth. And a remnant will be saved: those who accept the terms of the New Covenant of grace in which we live, repent of sin, and believe the Gospel. God will move in supernatural power to bring in His new age, the Kingdom age in which the Messiah returns and saves His people.

OSE Deities – Danu
Introduction
In support of my campaign world for Old-School Essentials, I have been creating a set of deities that rule over the world of The Dungeon of the Gods. This week the focus is on the deity Danu, and a post that I’ve been working on for weeks.
Taken from Dehio, G. and von Bezold, G.: “Die Kirchliche Baukunst des Abendlandes” (1884)Danu (Mother of Knowledge)
Alignment: Law
Portfolio: Motherhood, Wisdom, Knowledge, Sovereignty, Nature, Water, Air
Followers: Mothers, rulers, sages, rangers, elves, fae
Symbol: A triskele (tris-kee-lee) “triple spiral”
Favored Weapon: A rod
Danu (DAN-oo) is often depicted as a triple goddess (maiden, mother, crone). There is also recognition that she is a shapeshifter, so sometimes she is depicted as an animal wearing a crown, or holding keys. She is the patron deity of elves, fae, and many other sylvan related beings in the world.
When presenting herself as a maiden, she is believed to behave in a tempestuous manner, prone to rapid and dramatic changes in her mood when dealing with others. In her mother persona, she watches over all as if they were her children. Her crone presentation has the grand matriarch kind of behavior where she has a sharp tongue and doesn’t have any reticence to ensure everyone stays inline with her expectations.
Key holidays for Danu are the transitions between the seasons (equinoxes and solstices). These are the times when followers of Danu typically make sacrifices to curry her favor for the coming season. These ceremonies frequently take place in locations where both trees and water are present, such as a riverbank.
Homage is paid to Danu with sayings such as “Diligence is the mother of good fortune,” “Knowledge in youth is wisdom in age,” and “Water is the lifeblood of nature.”
Followers of Danu strive to live and promote the four tenets of Danu:
Interactions of Danu
With Divine Beings
Even other deities seek Danu out for her wisdom, to help guide them through difficult choices that they may face. Some will even enlist her to support them in their relations with other deities.
With Mortals
Many mothers say prayers to Danu to protect their offspring, or to give themselves or their offspring guidance in trying times. Danu’s name is sometimes invoked to swear people into positions of authority.
Clerical worshippers of Danu gain the following traits as they earn the ability to cast spells of certain levels:
1st level spells: A streak of green in hair.
2nd level spells: Skin gains a hint of blue.
3rd level spells: Lustrous, green hair.
4th level spells: Pupil-less eyes become sky-blue in color.
5th level spells: Shadow contains triskele shapes within it.
Additionally, the clerical worshipers of Danu have access to the following alternative spells:
Water Float: 1st level, replaces Detect Evil.
Nurture: 2nd level, replaces Find Traps.
Know People: 3rd level, replaces Locate Object.
Air Walk: 5th level, replaces Dispel Evil.
Blessings of Danu
The following divine blessings are examples of what may be granted by Danu to particularly devout clergy at times of stress, need, or as a reward for furtherance of Danu’s divine will.
RollBlessing1Add 1d4 points to Wisdom for 1d6 turns.2Add 1d4+2 points to AC for 1d6+2 turns. 3Those within a 15-foot-radius gain a bonus of 3 on any one save against any forms of mind control or fear effects within the next day.4All creatures within a 30-foot-radius view the follower of Danu as if they were a beloved family member for 1d6+4 turns. 5The follower of Danu’s max # of retainers is increased by 1 for 1d6+5 weeks. 6One container of liquid is changed into a filling and nutritious liquid called Mother’s Milk. This liquid is capable satisfying all of the needs of the person who drinks from the container.Spells of Danu

The caster is able to identify who is hostile, friendly, or neutral, as well as who is hungry, thirsty, afraid, angry, curious, enamored, or hurt. In addition, if the caster spends an round focused on an individual, then they will know one random detail about the person.

Upon reaching adulthood, the target creature will behave as if under Animal Friendship spell. Each creature counts as a retainer against the casters max # of retainers.
Water Float
Cleric 1

The affected creature or object does not sink into water or any other liquids for the duration of this spell, but instead will float and bob about on the surface of it. Objects weighing no more than 150 pounds per level can be affected by this spell.
Magic Items of Danu
The Decanter of Endless Water is viewed by the followers of Danu as a magic item of special significance.
Conclusion
Hopefully you can find a use for these rules that I’ve put together, and if you’ve got suggestions or feedback, please provide it. I’ll be using them as I construct the pantheon of deities for this campaign world. I’ll post the deities as I create them as well.

House rules rock 🤘 Played an extremely casual game of Scrabble with some friends and didn't even bother keeping score. So of course we also allowed proper names, acronyms/initialisms, and non-English terms. By the time we'd exhausted all possible plays, there were only 2 tiles remaining. It was a lot of fun!

Games are meant to be played by their rules. In this article, I want to look at why rule-breaking can be a better option.

MAGA Marge Threatened With Removal From SOTU For Breaking House Rules
When Marjorie Taylor Greene showed up at the State of the Union address wearing a MAGA hat, she was asked to take it off by the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives.

I posted on Nextdoor and Facebook again in an attempt to recruit players for my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav game.
I made contact with two interested parties, one of which is a married couple, so I might end-up with 6 players if I'm lucky. Fingers crossed!
I have some unpopular House Rules so I'm more likely to recruit players with little system experience and players with GM experience. Basically opposite ends of the spectrum.
Warmaster Updates
Spent a bit of time updating and adding a bunch of content to our custom Warhammer/Rolemaster fantasy mechanics, used for our existing Enemy Within campaign. The game has been going strong now for several years, despite originally thinking it would only last a few months. As a result, the details have

There’s a few mistakes in #AlienRPG it’s little things and if you’ve just ignored them, it probably wouldn’t effect your game or prevent you from enjoying it. A few years ago I found this guy’s house rules blog and adopted, well all of them I think. https://banjogames.wordpress.com/category/rpgs/alien-trpg/ #ttrpg #Houserules #rpgresources
Today me and my wife all but ruined a #boardgame for my in-laws.
... We pointed out that they had unknowingly been playing by the wrong rules. Suggesting that they'd just keep playing by their rules if they find that version more fun was apparently not suitable appeasement.
«W/ #KevinMcCarthy out as #Speaker, #HouseRules Chair #TomCole says #Republicans r free 2 step back frm deep appropriations cuts dictated by McCarthy’s backroom deal w/ #FarRight in June.
“This agreement was faulty frm beginning. It’s changed over time, & now in a sense, it doesn’t exist bcuz McCarthy isn’t speaker anymore,” Cole said in interview. “So we’re not really bound by this agreement now. That will be an interesting thing new speakr will have 2 hash out.”»
