Royalty-free so it’s invasive

To be fair, Dracula being royalty-free is why pretty much every RPG had vampires long before the Mythos stuff ever started to spread...

Fantasy races are completely unnecessary and should at best be treated as an option in a small appendix.

‘Sandbox’ games and other style games that purport to allow players ‘agency’ are a fallacy. Players can only interact with what the DM/GM allows them to interact with.

At least scripted games, railroaded games are honest about the experience.

That's definitely an unpopular definition of "agency."

RPG books are too long and too big and too verbose. Slim concise materials make for better gaming. As it is,books are made for reading because everyone knows but won't admit people aren't actually going to use the thing at the table.

Correlary: the AP standard and form Paizo created is a terrible way to present an adventure to actually use at the table.

Skills and ability scores are redundant.

I find Star Wars continuity best adjudicated as "This is all from R2-D2's perspective as told by C-3PO to Han and Leia's other kids. Y'know, the ones who didn't turn out whiney and brattish, nor go all dark-dork over grandpa Anakin's series of incredibly bad life choices.

The Jedi should be barred from teaching anyone.

THAC0 was not difficult to understand, and it did a good job of resolving to-hit rolls.
