I expect everyone who's GM's for a while comes up with a house rule or two for the system they are playing in. How about a show talking about successful and unsuccessful house rules for various systems.
For those that make screwing with a system a hobby *cough* Tappy *cough* this may be a bit much for a topic. I'm thinking more along the lines of there being one particular issue with a system or setting and you tried to address it. Also, because house rules are probably a common thing, I'm thinking more along the lines of spectacular successes or failures.

Agreed, especially because I play 2nd Edition D&D (land of the house rule) and you boys were too busy making BDSM jokes to provide any GM tips in response to my email in episode 07-01. I'm guessing that makes me the DMnatrix?
We house rule frequently, but I feel like that's part of the fun of playing 2nd Ed - everyone who runs a game plays it a little (or a lot) different.
My players are really excited about a change I made to the way a critical hit works in combat. After they roll a 20 I have them roll percentile dice.
1-25% they get a second attack roll. 26-75% they roll damage twice. 76-100% they get to use the critical hit charts from the optional rules to do actual trama.
In our first game last Friday it made everyone excited. Only one critical hit was rolled during the game, and it didn't do trama, but it added a bit of extra excitement to the game when they all saw that 20.

I know you were there to get a laugh at me playing 2E, and then there was no word from you for awhile so you might have stepped out. Those boys get rowdy without supervision. Don't worry, I will continue the double entendre in my future emails just to keep everyone happy. I would be great to have Gammon talk about some of his 2E house rules. If you guys have an urge to plan ahead, you could always announce a topic the week before so that listeners have time to write in about that topic and put the topic in the subject line so you have a heads up.
