When things are less transparent they are more complicated and difficult to use. So no I do not agree. The cost of less transparency is increased complexity. Because you lose transparency, you don’t know why something is being done, meaning you have to reverse engineer the results.not sure about the premise, but no, it does not take more complexity. It takes less openness about talking about the complexity / design / goals, or as you called it transparency
Less transparency is what makes things less transparent, it’s in the name![]()
Reverse engineering is more complex than transparency at the outset.
But less transparency is what the fandom demanded, so this is what we get. A ten page system to create a monster that’s going to be used once at the table.
IOW a system that very few would bother using.
