Umm... correction. You may not play it that way, but, I at least try to. And, to be fair, when you don't have long rest classes, it does get a LOT easier to play 6-8 encounters.

Wellllll.... Elric was designed, deliberately, by Moorcock, as the antithesis of the Sword and Sorcery character. Physically weak, plagued by doubts, etc. He's the anti-S&S character. As far as Moorcock coining the term, it was actually Leiber that did that. But, in any case, the genre was...

I'm sorry but these are not facts, nor are they evidence. Your "fact" is that you were told by some friends in your car that you are a good driver. My facts are EVERY SINGLE car insurance company IN THE WORLD says that you are wrong. I mean, good grief, you yourself talk about not having...

Sigh. So, every car insurance company in the world giving you massive discounts on your car insurance isn't proof that having a truck license doesn't make you a better driver? What evidence would you like? Again, as I said earlier, that's the perfect encapsulation of exactly the issue when...

Ok. Now, in all honestly, I've never driven a semi. I have considerable experience driving very large vehicles in the armed forces though. Tandem trailers, large armored vehicles, large trucks. Just not a semi specifically, so, I can only speak to my own experience. But, I imagine that...

I thing @Maxperson here has perfectly encapsulated exactly my point. He has, with zero experience or training, decided that learning to drive a large vehicle will in no way improve his skills at driving a car. It is not possible that learning to drive a large vehicle will improve his driving...

So, apparently learning a completely new thing and not specializing in one single thing made you a better driver? You issue isn't with the idea of moving outside of a specific system, but with the example?

Or, to win the thread - This.

And right there. There we have exactly what I was talking about. Someone with absolutely no experience with something proclaiming that doing that thing could not possibly help, despite not having any experience with that thing. You don't think being able to parallel park a semi-trailer...

Well, see, here's what happened. You and I had talked quite a lot about what I meant, and yes, I do think that a one-game gamer will not be as good as a gamer with broader experience. That's absolutely true. But, then my words got endlessly brought up out of context, any further explanation...

That's not quite what I said. I said that you lack the experience required to understand what people are talking about. Again, you've demonstrated this, IN THIS THREAD. The fact that you have to ask how these things work means that you don't understand these concepts. At no point did I say...

I'm fairly confident in stating that completely refusing to look at other games and only focusing on one single activity will result in stagnation. That diminishing returns is a real thing and there is an upper limit to how good you can be at something if you absolutely refuse to broaden your...

So, you never said anything about learning to drive a truck would not make you a better driver? Maybe someone hacked your account? You never claimed that?

Something I will point out though. Look at the reactions in this thread. @Maxperson talks about using player facing rules in his game and how they did and didn't work. Anyone who has any experience using these kinds of systems instantly groks what he's talking about and there have been zero...

PNW? Pacific North West? Pre-natal weaponry?

((bold mine)) See, I disagree with the bolded part. Focusing on D&D will result in stagnation as the DM simply repeats the same formula over and over again because the DM never gets introduced to new ways of doing things. It's exactly the same way that singularly focusing on anything leads to...

There's a difference between expecting someone to play a game and suggesting that their game would be better if they played a different game. There's also a difference between not having played a new system and outright refusing to play a new system and then claiming that there is absolutely no...

Hang on though. You have repeatedly insisted that there is zero value in learning anything from other systems. After all, you are the best driver of your car and learning to drive a truck would in no way improve your driving skills. You have repeatedly stated that you will not learn other...

Oh, well... sort of? She also had to learn dance in order to do performative calligraphy and learn choreography in order to form a troupe for performative calligraphy. And, I don't think you quite understand just how broad the art is if you think that it's all very similar. I'll be the first...

But, here's the thing. Without experiencing other systems, you could not have tried to improve your game by bringing in player facing techniques. That it didn't work with a particular group isn't all that relevant. The fact that you had an ability to do something that someone who refuses to...
