A direct quote of a new thread I just opened at RPGWatch :


Hello,

today I have learned a few new words.

Which are interesting for any RPG discussions, I think, because of their general applicability.

I begin with : "Continuity porn" :

Second : "Pandering to the base" :
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PanderingToTheBase

Third : "Running the Asylum" :
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RunningTheAsylum

Huh, had I known these terms earlier, I would have used them in several discussions.

TDE is - to my purely subjective point of view - currently a case of "continuity porn", plus a case of "pandering the base".

Oh, my.
