[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 7908233, member: 957"] Where did I say it was antithetical to the wider hobby? I [I]do[/I] believe that the wider reception is, to some degree, inhibited by the design elements that are of issue to me. But if you go back and read my posts you will see me repeatedly agreeing that PF2E is GOLDEN for some players and I think that is great. My "thesis" as you call it starts in the part that you quoted with the words "to me". And, honestly, this is exactly what I was getting at in another part of that post. I reject the claim that people can't reasonably have significant differences in preference and therefore significant differences in perception to the same ideas. Within the context that this is purely a conversation about a game and in no way earth-shaking, it is eternally frustrating to me that no matter how much I bend over backward to acknowledge my respect for other view points, I always get replies which either (a) present their own viewpoint and demand that my analysis must work within their point of view, (b) take my point of view as a declaration of universality which I am imposing upon them, or (c) both (a) and (b). May I stay with my own viewpoint, which I assure you is very much true to me, while also retaining that I have not even implied a general thesis which applies to the wider hobby? If a game fails to attract as large of an audience as may be desired and my opinions play into that, then this is meaningful, but also somewhat coincedental. But still my opinion remains completely non-universal. There continue to be deeply committed fans of 4E. And I respect that entirely. I like 5E, but the bounded accuracy skews slightly in the same direction such that 5E is not my favorite. And yet 5E shows my taste to be out of step with overwhelming popularity in that case. I find neither case to be informative to my personal fun. [/QUOTE]
