[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 9228306, member: 63508"] Exactly. Of course you can make an incrementally designed RPG. It of itself is not hard. The question is whether it would be considered a success by the IP holder and the community. 4e was designed well to be an incremental RPG. It makes record numbers of money but not enough for WOTC and didn't do what many fans wanted. But it was exactly as what an incremental design RPG would be. [LIST=1] [*]Clear slots for new elements [LIST=1] [*]New races [*]New Classes [*]New Monsters [*]New traps [*]New powers and power sources [*]New feats [/LIST] [*]Clear formulas that the designers and fans can tweak. [*]The ability to insert new structures that work with old ones (AKA Essentials) [*]Mechanical flexibility to work with old and new settings with different assumptions (no divines no problem) [/LIST] The fans were just split and WOTC wanted twice the profit.
