    Worlds of Design: Story vs. Gameplay

    I'm willing to give STA a shot as an exception, but only because I love Star Trek. Same thing applies to supers games. Otherwise, sim takes precedence for me.

    New Star Trek Movie Coming From D&D Movie Creators

    Inferior to what, and by what metric? The Constitution III-class looked pretty good to me, though the D is my favorite Enterprise.

    I can think of literally dozens.

    Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

    So saying outright that what other people want isn't objectively better than what you want is denigrating now?

    Modules: Made to Read vs Made to Run?

    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...

    Worlds of Design: Story vs. Gameplay

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    New Star Trek Movie Coming From D&D Movie Creators

    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.
