There is a lot of discussion of material that 99.99% of teams will never encounter in the entire time a particular campaign is played.

If this same ‘thousands of words’, with zest and zeal, had been applied to creating NPC’s, community descriptions, a couple of brief scenarios or encounters where PC’s have to solve a minor problem, etc. that 99.99% of PD’s could drop in and use in their campaign, (almost) everybody benefits. If, for every five posts about the death of PB we had five paragraphs detailing a NPC (with stats), if, for every ten posts about the HAAM suits we had ten paragraphs describing a community, etc. we could have two new NPC’s and two new communities for the MP community to use.

My opinion - create useable content, reduce useless rhetoric.
That happens, but most here know too much to suspend belief. We need these sessions to aid in that endeavor. We are talking about a game where the .30-30 is rimfire(American Outback). Some errors need hashing out.
