I mean, DW might got too far because you know all it would take would be a couple of hobbits going "to hell with this guy" and the Balrog would be dead on the floor and Frodo going through its pockets but that could be worked around, particularly by not giving it stats.Comparing the hobbits to DW characters pretty clearly illustrates that DW characters are way too dangerous. Even Aragon/Legolas/Gimli are barely as dangerous as DW characters, especially with a few levels on them.And there's no mechanics to encourage people to get into all the LotR stuff. But you'd just use Fellowship or whatever instead.This doesn't make sense as an objection at all.Bespoke has a specific meaning. Custom-made. Tailored to requirements. To claim that means it can't have other uses is to misunderstand the actual word itself, and is a failure of English comprehension frankly. You'd get a red X in English class for that sort of silly business.I have a bespoke tailored jacket. It was tailored for me. Just because it might also fit someone else doesn't somehow make it "not bespoke". There are very few things in the world that cannot be put to another good use.If the mechanic was designed specifically for horror, and supports horror (which you agree it does), it is a bespoke horror mechanic, and to say otherwise is merely to say "I'm using English incorrectly and I'm proud of it!". It's not a valid opinion.</blockquote>
