The system you choose is the agreed upon approach for the game. If you’re not using it RAW, that needs to be there.
Everyone at the table needs to be playing the same game, the same system used.
You can’t play a card game if one person is playing blackjack another poker and a third uno.

It’s has been my hobby, not my vocation. Market size does not matter to me.
When I started these were games of thought and critical thinking. Anyone making polemic statements is not going to fit at my tables.
I welcome newcomers but have no problem curating my games.
I’m a GM, not an evangelist.

Most of it, including the “they are us,” that he keeps repeating.
Trolls are trolls, first and foremost. If someone starts out with drek like that, (and I’m not saying Rob) they’re going to have to earn back the right to be “one of us.”
See the fable about “crying wolf.”

That’s akin to looking at a workbench and saying “Which tool I use doesn’t matter.”
If course it matters. You can drive a screw with a hammer, but really, don’t.
It system matters based on what you’re trying to achieve at the table.
So use the system that fits the goal.

If the Administration is so confident that this was justified, they need to let the local LEOs investigate and if charges are brought, prove it to a jury.
This administration investigating this administration is just a clown circus.
