[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 7417631, member: 85555"] I would just have to echo Imaro's response to this. If this is the case, I am really not sure what this discussion is meant to achieve. Everyone has said, over and over again, Hussar is perfectly entitled to not use world building, to take another approach. I've repeated statements like this throughout the discussion. People are just reacting to his broad statements that world building is bad. And I don't think people are taking it personally. People are taking the snark and condescension personally. But when it comes to the basic point he is making, we are just giving our honest opinion, which is "this is a useful tool, we shouldn't say a useful tool is bad". If he wants to make an argument like "a knife isn't good for turning a screw" or "world building is bad if you get so invested in it, you ignore other things" that is fine. But he doesn't do that. He continuously makes it a concrete "World building is bad because GMs ignore other aspects of play", "world building is bad because...". What I am getting from Hussar, is he thinks world building on the whole is bad, and people engage in far too much of it for his taste, that the hobby would be better to move away from world building.
