[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5766106, member: 8835"] I don't disagree. My point though is, a Creator having these bad traits still does not invalidate the desirability of their work or neutralize their success. Steve Jobs being an example of a jerk who you still want his product. wyatt's writing has not fully hurt the value of D&D or 4e. It may have not helped it as much as it could have had it been better worded. As a side note to Kamikaze and some other guy who said Wyatt doesn't get to say how to use the product, the consumer does: Huh?:confused: Every manufactured produce of any complexity comes with directions, written by the manufacturer's agent (in this case Wyatt). The consumer is certainly free (within some legal reason) to find alternate uses or means of operation. Saying Wyatt can't write the directions on how to play D&D in the bloody manual on how to play D&D defies logical sense. this whole concept isn't even new. I've never read a 4e book. I don't play 4e. But the Cut to the Chase concept is not new. The fact that it was incorporated into a guide for DMGs makes sense. Some GMs do make too much ado about useless scenes that eat into the good stuff.
