Depends. For RPGs with fairly generic settings (ie most supers games are interchangable apart from the rules, and there's a fair bit of room to improvise in modern horror settings as well), I've been known to poach a bit. I tend to avoid doing it when I'm running an RPG with a fairly distinct setting or premise though, because the more different and individual a game is, the more non-canon stuff sticks out like dog's balls.

In a nutshell, what are the SDC by location rules? Or at least what rifter is it in?

In a char I've given him some disadvantages from grups, to counter balance some other powers giving to him, but GMs don't see them to be counter balancing the other powers, so the char has not seen even a little play.

Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

Of COURSE I beg borrow and steal from all sorts of RPG's.

Rifts is an 'everything but the kitchen sink' kind of game. It seems daft to not use stuff from all sorts of sources, especially other tech/magic/horror games.

In fact, recently my party met a <censored> and to do the conversion I just <censored> and had the partyu roll <censored> and <censored censored censored>.....
