You lost me right at the first sentence. Maybe I missed something in a previous post, but I thought it was pretty well understood that the discussion was taking place with regard to D&D, and that any assertions made about design goals were understood to be within that particular context. Given the intrinsic differences between tabletop RPGs and video games, I'm pretty sure that does matter.If someone is declaring that a particular design goal is impossible--as Max explicitly did--then it should not matter whether it is in the context of video games or tabletop games or board games.
