So, it looks like some VO somewhere has decided to make up an home rule inflict it on his local players (link if you missed it). At what point folk given inordinate authority get checks placed on them?
I realize its probably not necessary in this case (assuming the unnamed VO is receptive to correction from the campaign staff), but I think it raises an interesting question. Most of the time I see any criticism of the campaign staff squashed and eddied away. I am distressed at the culture of authoritarianism I see growing.
Speaking as someone who plays in the same area as the post you are linking to, I can assure you that in no way is the VC "making up a home rule to inflict on his local players". I don't want any sort of can of worms drama, but suffice to say he is very open to people correcting his misrulings, and no one is perfect. In the past some players took advantage of that and were deliberately giving false information on rulings and so now he just makes sure that if you think he is wrong he would like you to point it out in the book or on the forums.
