What are the rules for?

The reason I use rules at all is to give consistency to my whimsy (and,
to some extent, that of the players). That's really all I ask of them;
rules that do more than that tend (to my mind at least) to "get in the
way" and prevent the players (including the GM) from having as good a
time as they might.
