It's the concept that appeals, not the actuality. Otherwise people would discuss the rules a lot more in these situations, and they just never do. So the market of people buying RPGs not to play them, merely to own them as sort of nostalgia-products or the modern-day equivalent of coffee-table books is pretty significant. I mean, Blade Runner coffee-table book will actually get you LESS kudos/cool with most people my age and younger than owning a Blade Runner RPG that is basically the same thing.</p></blockquote><p></p>
