I can understand Holmes' point of view in this one; but ultimately as an amateur linguist I just can't get behind the concept of a descriptor being 'pointless' or 'broken'. I think that when we say 'Art game' we also mean, 'game with intended narrative or thematic complexities which may not be...

Many of peoples problems with 4e with regard to 'creativity' or 'alternate character construction' can be adressed with a similar approach that a WoW dev took. (Ironically *or* concordantly) A lot of people were complaining that they couldn't be as creative with the new type of talent tree...

This wasn't really meant to be a knock at the individuals who like this stuff, more at the fact that the gender of the person in question is played up so much, but if you want I'll go there. The fact is that whether they realise it or not, somewhere in the mind of 'many' (I wouldn't be stupid...
