Message: <blockquote data-quote="Manbearcat" data-source="post: 6016239" data-attributes="member: 6696971">- Some factions are worried about page count generally so as to keep the rules texts' costs down.- Some factions are worried about page count per topic specifically (so their favored sections are given their relative due).- Some factions are worried about rules texts' prose being coherent, concise, transparent and explicit enough so that all tables play generally the same and so it is impossible to confuse RAW and RAI.- Some factions are worred about rules texts' prose being too explicit, too gamey, too much like an engineering-grade manual (and not enough purple prose-y), so that reading the books becomes less of "an adventure" unto itself and so that each table cannot "make the game their own". Pleasing all 4 of these groups, with often mutually exclusive interests, is going to be a neat trick.</blockquote>
