House rules (or homebrew) are divergent game mechanics from what is officially-published.
This section is devoted to those variations on rules which many gamers have developed to make a game more suited to their tastes. Links here are usually duplicated in a page associated with the game they are a house rule for.

Sleep paralysis is a circumstance in which your body is completely paralyzed (except for your breathing, heartrate, eyes and eyelids), yet you remain fully lucid.
Sleep paralysis generates the stuff of nightmarish myth.

http://www.smalltalk.org/
A programming language.
Smalltalk is intriguing. Very intriguing. I was turned onto this while Ruby was a live project, where the rabbit hold led me to Seaside.
Smalltalk leads to Squeak, the open source implementation, and through one if its main contributors (Alan Kay) leads to the Croquet Project.
I’d need to re-watch this to add proper notes.

A highschool cheerleader, learning she is imbued with the spirit of the Vampire Slayer and her school was built on a Hellmouth, is trained by an ancient order of Watchers to fight vampires and other monsters from ending the world.
An astonishing series, and I don’t say that lightly. The characters and story are outstanding. While this is a fast-and-loose show, it matures. It spinoff/partner series, Angel – (1999 show) is even more adult. This show is well worth the time, even if its initial episodes put the viewer off with its childishness. It’s not a series that “grows on you”, it really does get better and better, building upon and maturing out of its initial impressions.
Mandatory viewing.
See also Supernatural – (2005 show) for a similar premise.

Religion, “new age”, philosophy, ideology, etc.
I explored a bunch, but it turns out I prefer self-enlightenment over the transferable beliefs others find value in.
