[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 2973389, member: 177"] Good point. Mr Gygax, at the time of that writing, does not seem to have had the appreciation for one-shots that many now seem to have. Woah, that sentence is starting to get ugly. :) I think the tenets also seem to lack a clear notion of the difference between a game and a setting. They might do well with a bit of expansion in that regard. Other than that, the only other one with meat here does seem to be #5 - I'd suggest that the priority isn't set in stone, but rather depends upon the priorities of the people and what they want to get out of the thing. For example - If you're talking about a game which has a large (and possibly rotating) player-pool, duty to the campaign might be paramount for the GM. If you're talking about a small group of friends playing as a major part of their social activity, perhaps duty to the players would be better taken first. [/QUOTE]
