If you think mythusmage is "shaking up the RPG world", you haven't been to the "D&D Rules" or "House Rules" or any of the other forums on this discussion board, where exactly the sort of stuff he is bemoaning the lack of has been going on FOR YEARS.People are everyday thinking up new and better ways to model/abstractify/record/play every aspect of RPGs. They do it all the time. It's called, "Having new ideas."To ascribe this behaviour to any one person on a discussion board is pretty absurd.If anyone thinks they have a "magic bullet" solution that will immediately turn the industry into something many times the size it is now, they're sitting on a gold mine and presumably will make their fortune exploiting it. I don't believe there is one. I think the industry is probably more or less the size it's going to be for the foreseeable future. Can the individual games that comprise the industry get better? Sure, and they will, and they'll fragment, and people will disagree on what's an improvement and that's the way it works in the real world, where "revolutions" of style and thought have little to do with actually making money and paying the rent.But to insist on the one hand that NOBODY is working at transforming the industry or the games within it is just nonsense, plain and simple. And to post here, wondering why nobody is doing so, just reveals an inability to browse a discussion board.I guess.</blockquote>
