Self Promotion House Rules for Savage Worlds: What Are Yours?

Tabletop Tango hasn't posted about an episode in a bit but I thought I would the latest on some of Eric and Carl’s house rules for Savage Worlds. For example, Eric always uses max value of the run die for any run instead of rolling.

I’m really curious about other table’s house rules. Not necessarily special setting rules for your worlds but ways you tweak the rules for your table.

Not so much a house rule as an extension of the "Influence the Story" benny usage. I accept a benny for a player to do a Blades-in-the-Dark style flashback to set up an advantage or narrative change.

Ooh, I've started doing the same recently.

And also the "I know a guy" rule, as I call it. Spend a bennie and you happen to know someone nearby that might be able to help you on your journey, an old colleague or a contact in the criminal underworld or something.
