[QUOTE="Scott Christian, post: 8088035, member: 6901101"] No offense Ovinomancer, but I wish you would read what I wrote, in the tone that I wrote, instead of making up both meaning and tone. I too learned without video. I too learned from reading other games. I too have implemented said rules for one game into another. I too have read and learned techniques from one game and brought them to another. You bring up the surgeon analogy when I clearly stated ten others. And your take on the surgeon analogy is still incorrect. It is the patient who is different. One is operating on a human (D&D) and the other on a cat (Blades in the Dark). I could try to figure out how the surgery would work on a person, or the doctors could just perform the surgery on a human instead of a cat. All that was in a snide tone. I chose this tone because I feel you are arguing for argument's sake. Here is a different tone. One that I used earlier: [I]"The goal is to learn as you stated.
