[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8808110, member: 6785785"] I'm not misrepresenting your opinion at all... as you say, you haven't shared it yet. I'm just pointing out the absurdity of thumbing through a book and then using that to comment in a thread where you've said that books aren't sufficient to learn a game. Doesn't it seem paradoxical? It's a great book! It won 7 Ennies! It's a popular game. It's just not D&D. I'm not demanding anything. I said it offers separate advice for different levels of GM experience in addition to all the general advice it offers for running the game. I don't think you're denying this, which was the entirety of my point. You want to know more? Go ahead... learn. It's not my job to teach you. Who said that? You can have any opinion you like. How accurate it is will depend on a lot of factors. Would you expect the opinion of someone who's read a rule book to be as informed as someone who's read the book, looked at other resources, and actually played the game? I would guess based on your previous comments, that you would answer "no". Am I incorrect? Who said that? Good gosh, you're really jumping to conclusions. I don't care what you think about Heart or how it works. It's irrelevant. I have not challenged anyone's opinion of any game other than D&D. The entirety of my point in mentioning Heart was to say that it had advice aimed at GMs of different experience levels. That's it. You don't need to know anything more about the game to understand the point I was making. You don't need to know how Heart works to understand what I was saying. If you want to know more about the game, then go ahead.... you don't need me to elaborate on it any further because doing so is irrelevant to my point. Oh, I forgot... there is a PWYW Quickstart PDF for it, with a recommended price of $3.
