I think we're talking past each other.
The main point of this thread was about the responsibility of a designer. Which I totally agree with.
I sidelined it into this thing about the strangeness of textuality with respect to RPG players. Which was a mistake. I'm sorry.
Let me rephrase:
There are many good games (by which I mean have a positive effect on your community of players) which I doubt were totally designed with this in mind. Marvel Superheroes. Teenagers from Outer Space. Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0.
