[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7856283, member: 2525"] The entire theme of this editions rules presentation, from the very beginning to now, is that story is the most important thing surrounding D&D. That evoking imagination with the rules presentation, and getting people to explore the rules rather than approach them like assembly instructions, is important to capturing people's interest and maintaining that interest. Now they could be wrong. It could be all of that was incidental to the success of the edition. But given we don't have any data showing it's been harming the edition popularity, and it was the idea from the beginning to make it popular, and it is popular, it sure seems like continuing with that theme is wiser than not continuing with it. You would need some pretty good evidence showing it's both incidental to success and holding back success to make a major change in that theme at this point. So what's the evidence showing it's incidental, and the evidence showing it has held back success, sufficient to overcome the burden of "it's working so don't mess with success" that is the 1000 ton locomotive driving this edition right now?
