[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 8394877, member: 4881"] There are a lot of "You"s in your reply to my OP and I'm assuming those are addressed to the audience, not just me. About a month ago I had a discussion about modern art with a friend of mine. She has a Masters degree in fine art, and I am a simpleton who claims that I could do some of that art myself with a blindfold on. One point she made to me was that in something like minimalist art oftentimes the void of the canvas is an important aspect of the art as a whole. This seems to me to be what you are saying. To try to restate your point, but in a less condescending way, are you saying that to you older editions were the pinnacle of design because the areas of the canvas devoid of rules complements the core rules that are there? I think that concept is a valid one, and can't argue with it. I would add, however, that despite 5e having a skill system, I think it has many less rules governing the system than 1e does. Do you feel that 5e takes up more of the blank canvas with it's ruleset than 1e does? [/QUOTE]
