Message: <blockquote data-quote="pemerton" data-source="post: 5452701" data-attributes="member: 42582">LostSoul, to suggest an answer to your 3rd para:I can only assume that WotC thought that there were many players like my group, who want a crunchier/more tactical play experience than a game like HeroQuest is going to deliver (half of us are ex-Rolemaster, after all) but who also were looking for a much less simulationist approach to world design, scenario design, scene framing, and action resolution. So it's not just that they agreed with Ron Edwards, but also that they thought that the players who would flock to a narrativist-leaning game would be drawn from the ranks of those who love Runequest, Rolemaster and collectable card games.And OK, when I put it that way, it looks like a pretty implausible hypothesis from the start!</blockquote>
