[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7708104, member: 6775031"] Maybe I'm understating the degree to which I hate Fate points and every similar form of meta-game resource, including those in Savage Worlds and 3.5 Eberron, but I consider any game with a meta-game resource to be completely unsuitable for the style of play which drives me to an RPG instead of a video game. And given that there's a wide range of games out there to play, and that the easiest game to find a table for [I]doesn't[/I] use that sort of mechanic, I have no compelling reason to cross that line. If this was 1980, and there were only a handful of games to choose from, I might want to give it a chance. Since this is 2017, and I have hundreds of games to choose from, it's easier to dismiss things for small reasons. (Not that I consider this a small reason, I mean; but even if it [I]was[/I] easy to ignore the rule, I'd still be better off playing one of the myriad games which [I]didn't[/I] ask me to make such changes.)
