Though, the benefit is that a game being rules light as long as it is not to far into the diceless/group fiction era can be pretty quick to explain. James T.

I know I would be hesitant to walk up to a table and go 'I don't know how this high trust play-style works, I want to hog a bunch of you, a strangers, time to get me ready to play' - maybe it takes all of 5 minutes, maybe you love inducting new folk, but if I don't know enough to know that, then I would be concerned I would just be a drag on the table and stick to what I know.<br /><br />tl:dr; less concern about system abuse, but about being a time-sink and spoiling others fun.Xaosseedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921003959109753612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336111837022153.post-90202919134909293622021-01-06T16:09:20.527-08:002021-01-06T16:09:20.527-08:00Burning Wheel is this "unwillingness to look ...Burning Wheel is this "unwillingness to look at your quality of play" taken to the logical extreme.

A rules-lite system gives bad players no place to hide. It goes like this "I suck so bad at being a good player character I need a step by step approach, a higher authority in the form of comprehensive rules so my lame efforts are not uncovered.Vanishing Towerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043890226683297039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11336111837022153.post-52244539726455981932021-01-06T14:48:13.666-08:002021-01-06T14:48:13.666-08:00Preach on, brother!

It is often detached from what made previous iterations good while attempting baseless innovation.<br /><br />Also, excellent memes.Dreaming Dragonslayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04213571633929290775noreply@blogger.com
