I'm not a designer but played and DM'd a bunch. Sometimes it would be nice to write down the intent of a particular mechanic. Also, I (along with many/most DM's) will ignore rules or riff off them to keep a game flowing.

I cant find a screen shot, but theres a newspaper correction from a wedding report something like "We would like to clarify that the couple are staying at "The Old Manse" not the home of the brides father as previously reported". (You might need a British accent to fully appreciate)

Fetch is a half-prc fighter (5e), raised among humans who got rid of him by sending him on an errand. Plays bagpipes, wants nothing more than to find his (Orc probably) father, does anger management training in downtime.

Maybe around early 1980's I had a credit card from a major bank. They decided to stop doing that card and sent a letter with a number to call to arrange replacement. Of a particularly annoyed dentist in Leicester.
