Yeah, got that.

One benefit to rules is, used correctly, they can provide a sense of
coherance to the story you're trying to tell.

I've been turned of by games with weird shit for weird shit's sake;
always seems to turn out like a bad David Lynch parody.

Some like their games to resemble a Burroughs cut up; great.  Just...
well, not everyone is like that.  For some of us, enough incoherant
weird shit leads to a blase attitude about all weirdness.

YMMV, and all.
