Since most tables that have tiefling fans are more likely to have a variety of species , 'subtle inhumanity' just doesn't matter when the guy next door is a green musclebound brute with tusks(he's the tax collector, everyone hates him)

This does support my feelings that there's an overlap between storygaming and buildcraft gamers where they want to put more authority into the rules over the GM--and in a way, against the ingame world itself.

(The 'ration' in the title refers to any resources that are more associated and are usually tied to the verisimilitude of the world while 'mana' are more disassociated resources that are more specific to the PCs capabilities or their 'sheet buttons') Slightly related to the simulationism...

Disagree with you there, it's really funny since you fit with it so well considering your anti-zeitgeist stance.

ACKS 2 released this year and their discord is quite active. His youtube channel does get pretty decent views too. I don't disagree that Simulationism is unpopular however.

ACKS

I mean those three are pretty big name games. I'd also say that the prolifreration of very detailed equipment list back then as a sign that Simulationism was the norm in design.

No, but they're both athletes

VtM is a terrible example of 'picking a lane' it failed so much in it that it created the Forge.

My view is that WotC should have made a world that better allows putting in some weirdo species. Golarion does it by basically having several different genre settings as locations.

Yes. I think that's good.

Ah I was thinking of 'hitting as hard and taking hits just as well as a fighter'

And I think that sucks naughty word that a wizard can spend spell slots to be as effective as a fighter.

Instead of trying to bring back attrition, what's the best way to challenge a party that do just want to be at full HP and slots the entire time?

At that point, the DM can just save themselves a few hundred bucks and just play in FKR or even go forum/discord RP.
