We can post until the end of time, but that's not gonna change anyone's minds. Are any Old Schoolers here willing to run some old school games to show people how it's done???

But the funnel is the perfect example of simulationious design. The whole subsystem is designed to recreate a certain experience.

You're massively outnumbered by all the people who would complain if they weakened spell casting instead.

Fattening the calf before the slaughter??
