I think there's a flaw in viewing RPG theory as only of interest to game designers. Is physics only of use or interest to engineers?
This makes TC go "Or..."
Are physics of interest to taxi drivers who drive the cars designed by the engineers? Only in passing...maybe...
This makes JK go "False duology"
This has been expanded interestingly on the main thread, but...not all non-designers are players-only. Frex, Lisa doesn't self-identify as a game designer (I disagree, but that's another question). But she's unarguably a game reviewer. Is theory of use to game reviewers? Hell yes.
This makes VB go "I think I caught Lisa square in the 'doesn't self-identify.'"
