[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8627986, member: 16814"] Bias isn't removed by market research. I find the claim that bias was removed or even reduced because survey data to be fairly ridiculous. Yes. Maybe they do, but those clusters don't describe anything to do with how PbtA is even organized -- they don't make any sense in that context. Not really. There's no real tactics to deploy as every combat is unique (or should be) and you have address the moves made by the GM. That isn't to say that there usn't some Skilled Play involved, but it has nothing to do with tactics. I'm a very tactically oriented person. I adore wargames. That itch it not scratched by PbtA for me at all. Further, there's little strategic play involved. These aren't the point. The play approach that PbtA exemplifies was in the wild in '99. A study purporting to capture the scope of play that missed it missed some things happening at that time and that would continue to grow and be highly influential. PbtA is an easy handle for people to grasp the concepts. Easy being entirely relative as it's still most often just denied. [/QUOTE]
