I totally get what what you're saying. Ron beat me to explaining the Void in TMW (hmm, that sounds very Musashi).
But I have to ask, does PTA have a Void? I'm not sure. What seems great to me about PTA is how it organizes/inspires player interaction. But since the players create a new show for every game, the thing that the players are exploring (Honor, Judgement, Sin, Duty, etc.) is going to change with every show.
Am I misinterpreting things? Or does PTA (and other "generic"/"universal" systems) do something different?
This makes BR go "Could PTA's void be just that -- Your Show?"
I mean, if it gives you all the tools to make a show, but doesn't give you a show until you create it with other people and through play, then isn't the show itself the void? The game gives you everything else, but not that thing which it is actually about.
