This is the first time I've ever used GM, and to be honest, I've found so many things that just seem wrong that I can't keep it to myself. Before I storm to yoyogames and/or Mark Overmars I'd like to hear your opinion.

I think it also reflects a common blight that has settled on the industry. It is supposed to be the golden ages of game development and all we are seeing are hyped up sequels, marketing pitches and empty promises.

NOTE: You can basically replace the word 'magic' in the following paragraphs with 'technology' or something similar to apply these arguments to a non-fantasy setting. Magic is everything unknown, mysterious, and supernatural. So why do most RPGs make it so mundane and boring? Most of these games give the player three general paths: fighting, thievery, and ...
