[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 6194182, member: 221"] I think I said I would not phrase it that way using the word "inept." I do think there is a possibility that the problem, however is not with the game itself, which does not, of itself contradict what you say after. I disagree. I think that a balanced game is achievable by adherence to the rules. I think it is facilitated by techniques but that balance is inherent into the rules as written. It doesn't matter how many pages of contrary opinion there is, I still believe this. Granted that some playstyles prefer PF over others, that does not mean the game is imbalanced. It merely means it is designed to deliver a certain experience and that those who want a Fiasco experience or a Mouseguard experience, or even a wargame experience are not going to like it as much. They should play the game they want instead. I don't rely on storytelling style GM devices to give players a time in the spotlight. I allow their own choices, the elements of the game (and to some extent the adventure as written) and the fall of the dice to do this. At my table it emerges naturally using the rules as written. Therefore I must disagree with at least a part of your premise. [/QUOTE]
