Rant for Game/Content Creators

[Leon]

It's bizarre how many designers don't seem to understand the purpose of the tables and tools they themselves include.

Whats more bizarre is the asinine complaints that gamers come up with when faced with something they dont like...

Um, not quite sure what you're saying here. Is that a retort to what I'm saying or are you agreeing? The way you phrased that is kinda confusing.

If I pay money for an RPG book, I expect to be given content to use.

Saying "Figure it out" in that book is the designers being lazy, because here's the thing-I can already just make my own stuff up. If I'm buying a book, it's because I'm paying money for SOMEONE ELSE to figure it out.

I don't think anyone would say that the authors have to figure out 100% of everything-even in a setting book, for instance, leaving little mysteries for the GM to fill in is okay. But the more often it appears, the lazier the authors were, and the less value the book has.
