Sometimes it's necessary to make compromisses, both the designer and the individual players, like ourself. I will not comment yours C2-3 rants, as I agree with you. Unfortunely, the designers had different opinions.Concerning C1, I think you're right. The reason? Apparently, crunchy bits sells! A couple years ago Sean Reynolds discussed that upper management at Hasbro thought it would be a good idea to concentrate in D&D's crunchy products, as they sold better than others. I think it's a fact. Since then, I have noticed that many posters believe that a good product should have a high content of crunch to be worthy. Although there is nothing wrong with that, it's an opinion, it isn't necessarily shared by all other players. If you're looking for games less focused in rules, perhaps it's time to concentrate outside the d20 realm. If, by some reason, you would rather stick with d20, then it's time to adjust yourself to the reality of the d20 market.That said, there are a lot of imaginative d20 products available. There is nothing written anywhere that you should focus in the rules section of the sourcebooks. Although you may have to pay more than most (as the books will have lesser contents to you than most d20 players), one can be very pleased with d20 books disregarding the crunchy aspects.</blockquote>
