[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7630390, member: 996"] That's certainly one of the things that soured me on the Forge. But, it seems built into the Forge paradigm, that division of the hobby into monolithic preferences, since they label a game that's not sufficiently committed to perching on one monolith "incoherent." "WARNING: The Forge contains elitist psuedo-intellectual circumlocutions known by the state of CA to cause cancer or reproductive harm." Or, whatever the UK or EU equivalent would be... TTRPGs are a relatively new sub-set of gaming, as are videogames, but, the latter industry is orders of magnitude larger, and has attracted far more of the available intellectual as well as financial capital. At least some of the answers we're groping about for like late-medieval alchemists, may have already been found by the well-funded metaphorical chemists, over there. Heresy, I know. Well, apparently Ron was the Cassandra who predicted word-for-word the spurious edition war complaints that would be leveled at 4e - not just someone who compiled a lot of erudite-sounding-complaints that edition warriors later dug up and hurled randomly - so maybe examination of his texts could divine the fate of PF2, as well.
