I don’t know about you, but the more of these variations and experiments I try, the better I understand the style I play the most: GM runs the world and adjudicates, players own their characters.

You know about me!

I think I radically improved as GM after starting to play games from different traditions. 

It reminds me of a story that Wayne Gretzky told, about how he played baseball as a kid during the hockey offseason and how that crosstraining was key to his hockey greatness.  Which is why people rejecting other traditions out-of-hand is so frustrating! Getting outside your comfort zone is a great way to make your comfort zone bigger / more awesome.
