I like reading more (but still enjoy playing to a lesser degree), and find the verbosity to generally be at a level with which I am comfortable. I suspect the presentation you prefer would not be worth the squeeze to me. People are different and want different things. To me this seems...

Agreed. For my part I don't want any rules that try to make that narrative experience happen. I'm fine with simulating a setting as best I can and seeing how it turns out. So long as the sequence of events could happen, i have no problem with it being unlikely. Logic and verisimilitude are more...

It's also gatekeepy to say that the industry should be bent to your interest, because you assume most folks think like you and those who don't like what you like aren't relevant.

I don't think so. Catering to their interest makes business sense. Assuming that what DMs want from purchased modules most is ease of use is just that: an assumption, and assuming that most people think like you is one too.

I thought this was about preference, not "the industry". Neither of us can speak for anyone but ourselves, and that includes whether or not we like reading more long-form material, and our opinion of how well or poorly-written it is.

That small amount of time, doing an activity you enjoy? Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but for me the time is worth it.

I wouldn't mind seeing Kirk's Enterprise following straight through from SNW.

There were four movies featuring the main cast of TNG.

Sorry to hear that. I'm nearly 50 and I do it all the time. Without a trust fund, even!

I use a Kindle. Never had any problem storing or reading anything in pdf format.

What does time spent reading something (presumably) enjoyable have to do with having a trust fund?

I watched it recently, and for my part it was less plodding than I remember it.

I liked that episode quite a bit. Had a lot to say about the different parts of the mind and how they interact.

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of loaded terms used to describe whatever style the poster doesn't care for. People clearly have strong feelings on this issue.

"Wall of text" itself is hardly a neutral term. Someone might as well call the style you prefer "bullet-point hell".

My big question here is where this new story would fit in the Trekverse. I also share @Morrus 's concern about tone. Trek can be a lot of things, but a new movie is going to set expectations for folks, and I don't personally think straight comedy is a good expectation. Hopefully it'll be more...

Big fan of the OSR game you reference here. Also very intrigued by merging these concepts with A5e (my other favorite D&D-like) and it's origin system. Lots of cool ideas here!

Some people don't want information loss, because reading pleasure might be a higher priority than gameplay to some folks (not you, obviously, but that kinda is the whole point of the thread).

Vehicles are a grey area, but in science fiction games tech is often used to substitute for things magic would do in a fantasy game. That's what I'm talking about.

That reads as rather unkind, if you're unaware, and makes assumptions that your feelings in this area are objectively superior to others.
