Message: <blockquote data-quote="hawkeyefan" data-source="post: 8159053" data-attributes="member: 6785785">I don't think it's a disagreement so much as them saying slightly different things. [USER=87792]@Neonchameleon[/USER] is describing something that a GM in Blades can do simply by following the rules alone, and ignoring the principles that should guide a GM when they're running the game.If you abide by the principles, then this kind of thing wouldn't happen in play.EDITED TO ADD: I see that almost immediately after I read the quoted post, [USER=87792]@Neonchameleon[/USER] and [USER=6696971]@Manbearcat[/USER] pretty much stated the exact same thing. That'll teach me for posting without catching all the way up!Well you could read the book and find out for yourself.I think the idea that you would remain unchanged after actually reading these games or taking part in playing them speaks volumes, no? Your mind is made up to the point where nothing will change it.It's like if I claimed that if I was addicted to something, I'd simply stop using it. I mean, I've never been addicted, but I know what it means and I understand it in many ways, and I've had people describe it to me. But if I ever found myself addicted, I'd just quit cold turkey.Perhaps this is not what you mean, but I want to just point it out so that maybe you can consider it. This is where it kind of seems like you're claiming clearer understanding of the games in question despite not actually being directly familiar with them. You already know and nothing will change your mind!Again, maybe it's not your intent, I just wanted to point out how it comes across.</blockquote>
