[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 8478139, member: 82106"] So, what are you saying? That games should only be designed with certain expectations in mind, and other variations are 'poor design' because your perceived notions of what the market is don't jibe with that? I don't think you're saying that. However, if I'm writing PbtA games, why should it be MY task to warn you away from my game? It seems very elitist for one segment of the hobby to claim to be the assumed standard by which all others would be judged to the point where anything else has to carry a disclaimer! I DO think educating your customers can be a good idea, but I think writing an intro to your game that explains the sort of play it aims at should be sufficient. I mean, lest this seem like merely a quibble, I present to you the the evidence of sheer dismissiveness and arrogance, such as this from another current thread [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/too-much-prose-in-rpgs.684432/post-8478106']Post from 'Too Much Prose in RPGs'[/URL] [/QUOTE]
