I don't think the games I like are better than the games anyone else likes. I think some games are better at some types of play than others, but I don't put interpersonal drama on some pedestal. I don't think aiming for something that feels like Sons of Anarchy or Altered Carbon is better than aiming for something that feels like Avengers Endgame. At the end of the day I'm just a gym bro software engineer that likes roleplaying games of all pretty much all types. I'm not super big on linear storytelling, but we all have our own biases.I do not speak for anyone other than myself. I feel like our conversations would be a lot more cordial if we all did so. My personal issues with the rhetoric surrounding FKR have as much to do with being a fan of games like Pathfinder Second Edition, Infinity, Conan 2d20, Dune 2d20, Chronicles of Darkness, Vampire 5th Edition, Tales From The Loop, FFG Star Wars, and FFG L5R as they do indie games. Niche games no one plays. Right? Stuff like play worlds, not rules and all the rhetoric around trust implicates the way a vast swathe of players play those games as well as 5e. I feel it throws the way I approach 5e under the bus.I have no issues with minimalism. I applaud stuff like World of Dungeons, Troika, and Into The Odd even if they aren't jam. You can do minimalism without condescension. People take issue with a lot of the early rhetoric of The Forge with good reason. It was not necessary. Neither is this rhetoric.</blockquote>
