Things which I do see as "sins", or at least, piss me off as a consumer:
- Bad design which, is clear the person didn't look at much of the competition in the last 20 years
- Not including important pieces of procedures you expect for functional play
- Not including advice on when to, or not to use rules that you expect people to use rarely
- Contradictory rules/advice (primarily shows up when folks are spouting things they've read as mantras)
I've spoken in the past of "Broken Wheels" and pretty much these 3 things make up a good deal of it. I borderline it to sin, because if you honestly believe your hobby/games result in bitterness and broken friendships? I've joked before it's like playing chess and getting stabbed.
