They gave us the basics to build a working game and left the more detailed world building aspects to the DM.  Even the few simple guidelines they gave us for a creative spark has the interwebs in flames.  I can't imagine what detailed rules would do.No, it's better that they left it up to us.  I understand why anyone would be upset about having to make up their own rules, but I think it's a bit selfish (not in the bad way) to think that should have provided rules for any particular one of us.  The way it is now supports way more games than any world-building rule they could have given us.my 2cp</blockquote>
