I think it is probably a sign of how our temperaments align that I can't help but see your detractors as people making non-arguments.<br /><br />I've never had an issue making the game more in-depth. I've never had a player tell me the information provided was useless. I've not once had a player complain about having too much information.<br /><br />Players crave anything useful. They are hungry for whatever will accomplish whatever is important to them, and providing any set of tools will encourage them to see problems through those tools.<br /><br />You know, hammer holders seeking nails and so on. The argument for fewer tools is the argument of people who cannot conceive what a craftsman must do to make quality products.<br /><br />Yes, you could make furniture with just a saw. But you can make better furniture with a saw, lathe, sander, jigsaw, hammer, nails, screwdriver, screws, and level.<br /><br />I see no need to apologize for using more than one tool.Pandredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03917809464727878157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-1622558390408698962012-09-18T16:25:19.035-06:002012-09-18T16:25:19.035-06:00"I'm a black factory of smoke and blaze a..."I'm a black factory of smoke and blaze and bloodied fingers, cut and shredded on rough, bloodless machinery.
