Triple Totalizations

[stepnix]

there's a lot of ttrpg discourse out there. i have seen too much of it. Eventually you start to see it converging on a pattern of:

(I) "A game that does X can't exist"

(II) "And if it did, nobody would like it"

(III) "And if they did, they shouldn't"

each of these is annoying but at least the first two can be disproven, the third has to be a whole clash of philosophies. dueling in lava, choral soundtrack, the works

now you can refer to arguments you see as Category 1/2/3 Totalizations, if you so desire

*shrug* Make game and see if it works.

>> (II) "And if it did, nobody would like it" <<

*shrug* Then they can play something else. But out of 8 billion homs, statistical probability indicates that some people will like it.

>> (III) "And if they did, they shouldn't" <<

Fuck off with telling anyone else what they're allowed to like.

Seriously, those who say it's impossible shouldn't interrupt those who are doing it. Go find something useful to do.

If people listened to shit like this, we'd all still be stuck playing Monopoly.
