[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9535699, member: 177"] It isn't about "deserving". This is about the qualities of the RPG medium, about what it naturally does well, and what it doesn't do so well, as compared to other media. As a practical matter, it takes a lot of work to make a mathematically complex game well. It takes large playtest efforts to work kinks our of much simpler games. I wouldn't expect many to take on the task for something with a very limited audience. It sounds to me like it ends up in the space of, "How do you make a small fortune in the RPG industry? Start with a large fortune...." That said, if you can find an RPG that plays well for your people, and satisfies your math-nerd desires, more power to you. We aren't saying you shouldn't have what you want, just that it is perhaps a bit of a Grail Quest to find it. [/QUOTE]
