	Haven't I pimped the Forge here before? If you aren't 
familiar with the GNS theory of game design, you pretty much aren't 
familiar with most modern RPG design. You don't have to agree with 
it, but its so influential you really need to be aware of it to 
understand why people are designing the way they do. And you 
definitely don't need to sign on to the narrativist push either (D20 
has managed to revitalise itself largely by returning to its gamist 
roots).
