Yeah, I don't think Ron is in any way a grifter. The fact he was so quick to promote other Forge games over his own shows that.
I think the main issue with GNS theory was that a lot of Forgeites would argue that it was Ron's personal property and that it didn't need discussing with the wider...
I don't agree with Ron that a game can only accomplish one design goal (my main issue with GNS theory) but that goes too far in the other direction for me. I'm not going to go to Roll for Shoes for simulation or to GURPS for a strong storytelling experience.

Reinforcing that, I just picked this up - https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/434472/landing-days-2100-c-e
I'll post more once I've done more than skimmed it but it looks good and very different from my conception of a Braunstein.
Possibly. I agree it's important but I'm not sure it needs...
