Sure, but I'm not sure what answers to that question would be better. Kinda why I asked it.

Interesting. Is that true, @Maxperson ?

What about die rolls and mechanics? That's not the opinion of other people.

Too bad. Sorry @Bill Zebub . The poster who most exemplifies what I'm talking about is invisible to you.

How very corporate of them. You'd think they had shareholders to look after.

No. I am arguing that there are situations where neither the character nor the Player plausibly have complete control over everything around them. Influence is felt and IMO should be represented.

Is that response good enough for you @Bill Zebub ?

So you want to have control over something for your character you just admitted you don't have control over for yourself in real life?

Don't the reasons they claim for the price increase on some books also logically apply to the PDFs that aren't going up?

Some folks seem to think that any social mechanic with any possible effect on the PCs is tantamount to "mind control". I disagree, and have given my reasons more than once.

I told you already. It's not force. You can do whatever you want. Certain actions that ignore the social situation in the setting at that moment may be more difficult, but you can still try whatever. Just like we all can in most RPGa I know about. If you don't get that by now, nothing else I say...

I think there is a definitely a disagreement on what constitutes "convincing", "forcing" or even "influence".

Sorry. I have a hard time understanding certain kinds of humor.

N'Var, I think. It's a plot point from Discovery.

I wouldn't be averse to importing something like Pendragon's Virtues & Vices system to a D&D style game wholesale, just to see how it would run. Heck, the rest of Pendragon's mechanics play pretty traditionally, so it's not like it can't fit.
