[QUOTE="payn, post: 8471097, member: 90374"] The terms are very general to me. When I hear rules lite & narrative I know I'll be able to jump in quickly and start playing and teaching. Heavy & Crunchy implies that some investment in time will be required to be able to run and teach that game. Medium rules is used so rarely that I don't even really pay attention to it. I have learned that some folks find games like D&D/Pathfinder to be rules lite games. A lot of that is their perception. These folks likely play many TTRPGs, also complex board games, and thus are used to eating up rules crunch for breakfast. To them, groking complex systems is second nature. Usually, this kind of perception is on message boards and not something I see included in reviews. Folks often, dig deeper in message boards to get a bigger picture, so you got to weigh many opinions, not just the first person to drop the term. [/QUOTE]
