Goldene Regel

Aus RPG Info

Die Goldene Regel bezeichnet den Standpunkt, dass alle Regeln eines Rollenspiels nach den Wünschen des Spielleiters veränderlich sind.

Die Bezeichnung tauchte in diesem Zusammenhang das erste mal in Vampire: The Masquerade, fand später aber Eingang in viele andere Systeme.

Originaler Wortlaut

This is the most important rule of all, and the only real rule worth following: There are no rules. This game should be whatever you want it to be, whether that's a nearly diceless chronicle of in-character socialization or a long-running tactical campaign with each player controlling a small coterie of vampires. If the rules in this book interfere with your enjoyment of the game, change them. The world is far too big - it can't be reflected accurately in any set of inflexible rules. Think of this book as a collection of guidelines, suggested but not mandatory ways of capturing the World of Darkness in the format of a game. You're the arbiter of what works best in your game, and you're free to use, alter, abuse or ignore these rules at your leisure.
