ive seen word tot he effect before about "collapse and codify what was 1st" for 2nd.. but i think more to the point would be make legible and clarify the ramblings of Gary....
dont use a $20 word, where a $1 word will work.
i just find the problem like he implies, the market changes.. but is the market EVER really changing, or are people just trying to get a new or larger market?
"here are my demands" portion really stresses that point, because there are things certain people want no matter what. Sacred cows are scared afterall...it is what makes the game the game that people want to play.
so the next D&D cant both have Vancian and be without Vancian magic. it can't have powers and be without powers. Mina Mina D&D.. just will never exist.

Play the game, not the rules.
