Nope, sorry dude. You're just wrong in your inferences concerning the author's experiences. To my certain knowledge, John has played many games from the indie/narrativist/storygame branch of the rpg family tree.
Now that that essay is dated 2006, so Fate and Apocalypse World had not risen to their current prominence. But the branch of roleplaying games precipitated by the Forge existed.
Maybe you'd like to make your point without explaining what the author must have experienced?
- Semiapies 11y ago"But the branch of roleplaying games precipitated by the Forge existed." And others. Every game I listed, for example. Given the author's apparent broader experience, I can't account for such a limited essay.

I didn't make any inferences about his experiences, I made a statement about the scope in which the generalizations he made were defensible. > Now that that essay is dated 2006, so Fate and Apocalypse World had not risen to their current prominence. Sure, I used FATE as an example that was likely to be familiar to current readers of what I was referring to, not as a specific system which the author should have addressed. Now, its possible that the author's intent was to make an argument specific to simulationist-style rules.
