Moe Tousignant oh, yeah. And within the “it’s an RPG contest!” side there are super deep divisions in expectations. When you have freeform folks trying to evaluate mechanized games, nothing makes sense. When you have mechanized-game folks trying to evaluate freeform, it looks like they haven’t actually submitted any work.

The hybrid board/card/rpg/story designs I personally find super interesting, mostly insofar as they defy everyone’s categories so therefore must be evaluated on their own merits. Of course that can also mean that nobody can or will provide useful feedback.
