[QUOTE="Aldarc, post: 8200523, member: 5142"] Incidentally Rob Donoghue, one of the creators/writers for Fate, actually has "gotten pissy with people" who believe that Fate can do anything precisely because (1) [I]system matters[/I] and (2) the Fate system is not appropriate for running every type of game. This is the underlying point about [I]system matters[/I] to me. I believe [USER=6785785]@hawkeyefan[/USER] made a car comparison earlier, which is pretty apt.
