The grid almost doesn't matter anymore"Because humans are  lazy and very few players are willing to read (or even open) a 70ish page PDF setting document∆ their gm gave them to supplement the 1-2minute broad strokes general overview of the settingTake that 1-2 minute broad strokes overview, I've given some variation of it to dozens of players and could probably count the number of players who asked even a single question for clarification beyond some variation of "oh ok sounds cool" on the fingers of one hand.   It's not like the GM can devote the first <a href="https://youtu.be/6MrlKq8zwNU?si=rFY5ZYc9V4WHWmWt" target="_blank">5819 seconds of session zero to a crash course dive into into the setting</a> and expect players to sit through paying enough attention to absorb it.  I may have once run a d&d game in a literal community playspace surrounded by bandage gear/equipment but I have never once seen a player who could not physically leave mister endless "GMs can't force people to play".Players rarely ask any questions let alone constructive ones like that. I've yet to meet a gm with the mind reading capabilities of professor X or Jean Grey.  Are you suggesting that developing that particular flavor of mutant gene from X-Men should be penciled in as a requirement for gms to engage in setting citation alongside being "the next Tolkien" as suggested by someone  earlier in the thread?∆ I linked it earlier</blockquote>
