Most people would treat the indie games movement as a rejection of D&D and the tradition of combat-centric gaming that it represents. Are you oversimplifying here, in an effort to establish a neat system of historical periods for recent gaming? Or do you see D&D 3.5 as marking a turn away from earlier D&D tradition which is in some meaningful sense analogous to what Ron Edwards and his followers were up to? I like what you’re doing here, but I want a fuller analysis that clarifies what “Focused Design” means and why it is a meaningful term for describing both D&D 3.5 and Sorcerer.

I hope you say something about the recent history of indie games: who wrote what and how that changed later game designs.
