They spit out numbers, sometimes highly relative and abstract, with almost zero time and effort, all pretty for posting. But they don’t really tell you how to run them, what the numbers actually mean, or give you any of the context needed to interpret them. They’ve become pop culture, or what I’ve been calling Benchmark LARP, live action roll-play.
