[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 6291596, member: 4937"] No, and indeed, heck no. If for no other obvious reason, because of the next sentence - the one you don't quote - specifically says that the RAW can be internally consistant to setting as well. But also, because as part of the larger point, setting and system aren't the same thing and are only tightly coupled if we choose to couple them. The same system can produce multiple games and multiple settings depending on the many other inputs recieved to the game. Changing the dials on the setting doesn't necessarily change the system and changing the dials on the system doesn't necessarily change the setting. I won't even get very deeply into the fact that you are misusing the Oberon Fallacy, which has to do with defending that the rules aren't bad because they can be changed, something that isn't even remotely what is being discussed here. You also seem to be continually forgetting what you originally argued for that prompts my comments, so what's the point. Have fun, and good luck with the paper. [/QUOTE]
