[QUOTE="payn, post: 9194488, member: 90374"] A lot of this comes down to how comfortable a person/group is with ambiguity. Some folks are just not built to play rulings over rules style. I think there is an art to it that cant be explained fully in text. Some folks are looking for simplicity in a fighter that just swings a sword every turn, others want that freedom to be creative and as soon as you define the rules you start to confine that space. Possible, but I dont fully agree here. If you find something boring, that is subjective, and not totally on the system itself. I'm not saying the material is immune to criticism, but if you dont enjoy it, thats not entirely on how the system is written and presented. It could be you have a certain style or need that leans rules over rulings to make clear the system intent. You do have some responsibility for your own experiences too. I've never had a issue free ride across the country even in a Lamborghini. My experience has always been that there is a compromise between playstyle and system to get the right fit. I agree that some systems are best played one shot, but I find long term campaigns typically fall more into player playstyle than system. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
