New blog post on house rules for tabletop games, which is not-so-secretly a post about friendship and trust: https://push.cx/2018/house-rules
@pushcx I agree with yes-take-backsies and public is public info for the table in general. But when I'm playing as myself and I make a mistake, I usually try to compensate so that I don't get an unfair advantage. I dunno, I kind of feel like it's like the robustness principle but for game rules? I wonder what you think of that approach?
@cwebber Yeah. Yes Take-backsies isn't something I've imposed, it's something we've grown to to be normal behavior for everyone over the years so everyone is comfortable saying "oops". I get where you're coming from, though.
@cwebber Might be an overloaded term here, too. When I say "mistake" in the post I only mean "error in judgement", not "made an illegal play". If you mean the latter, yeah, whoever recognizes announces it and we try to offset it or shrug and go "eh, that's the first couple plays of any game, now we know for next time".
@pushcx the downside possibly of taking that approach is it may pressure the rest of the group to feel like they have to do the same
