    From TFA, only two of his points had anything to do with mechanics.

    My take on the article was "Every game has to be kewl and over-the-top, because if everyone isn't raving when they leave, your campaign sucks." That's great if you're running a ton of combat encounters stitched together with the occasional NPC interaction. Not so good if you're actually trying to tell a story.
