[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7006452, member: 12731"] You might not like it, but the fact is that a sizeable portion of the userbase wants their game to tell them how the world works. Denying it won't change that. I hear so many people making self-assured statements of this edition, or that, and always ask myself: is that how people want it to be, or because it really is that way. Saying that it "makes no sense" to want the stats to describe the world is hugely insensitive to the wishes of that sizeable portion of the userbase. It comes [I]very[/I] close to writing their way of playing off as badwrongfun, frankly. What really makes no sense is to compartmentalize off different editions like that. Oh, so you're playing this way? Then you can use editions M and N but don't try to use X or Y, because they way you play "makes no sense" in those latter editions. Puleeze... [/QUOTE]
