This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Why do most of us feel such a Strong Urge, to Make Changes to RPG Rulesets?

Some rules require tinkering because they suck, such as Mongoose Traveller 2nd edition.

Believe you me, the playtesters tried their damnedest to make it an uprated version of Mongoose Traveller 1st edition but we were ignored.
That's a terribly frustrating experience. I had a similar experience with FFG's Star Wars. They had decided their end results before playtest, and input be damned.

So many tabletop playtest sessions start at the late beta phase, and many companies just see it as free PR.

Funny enough, FFG actually had a Pay-to-Beta their products after the initial playtesting. Their decisions were over and done well before even that prior stage, and the Betas were just cash grabs.

We become gamers because we want to create things. The most driven to create become GMs.

Of course we're going to fiddle with it.
