Someone above suggested blocking the posts when they come in. It's been tedious as hell, but then I never see these updates again. Overall worth the effort.

Brief question: Is reuse of games allowed (within a culture-language combination and between countries)?
Examples:
Bärenpark is a German title, but the included parks are in multiple countries.
Several games have multiple maps (base game and/ or expansions, I'm thinking of Funkenschlag).
Somehow, my fortune teller in Quacks speaks Dutch in the base game, French in the expansions.

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD NOV 2: What can older RPG designs teach newer games—and what should older games learn in return?
Posted: Mon, 02 Nov 15:23:15
Too many spells, too many combat modifiers, Character classes, tables, etc. I feel that older games tried to be a simulation of things, which in turn required rules, which at some point became constricting. Same with settings and world building.
In return, today, I find that RPGs especially the ones built on any kind of IP, overdo the world building. It is a setting withe bolted on RPG rules. The setting though is what makes it constricting. Canon... shudder...
imo GURPS had the right idea, but then again, lost itself in settings and rules and their modifications. at least for me the rules never 'clicked'.
My best solution is to buy a base book, that has rules, a framework of a setting and a world. It provides me with enough information to build my/our own world with the group and play the game.

I think some older games can teach (and probably have) that there is something like "too much of a good thing".Too many spells, too many combat modifiers, Character classes, tables, etc. I feel that older games tried to be a simulation of things, which in turn required rules, which at some point became constricting. Same with settings and world building.

At the start of a new party in a new setting, how much, and what kind of in-world knowledge do you dump on your players because they should know it as a consequence of growing up in the world. Also, how do you deliver it to them? (printed, online wiki/doc, narrative, etc)
