Robbie's Mantra is: "Do what works for your Saga." The implication is that canon and the rules as written should be altered or disregarded if that makes more fun.

This is a mantra or rule that comes up in many RPGs that have any focus on role-playing. It can also be considered the golden rule of any role-playing game.

Robbie's Mantra is named for Robbie Westmoreland, once an active member of the fan community and a frequent poster to the Berk List.

It is sometimes written as:

#include robbie.h

which means, "include Robbie's Mantra (in this post/email) by reference." The particular typography derives from a time when most Internet users were also programmers, and would instantly recognize and understand it.
