Then you don't play the complicated enough games. They aren't as difficult
to learn but some of the easiest games are some of the trickiest to master.
Take chess. I love a good game of chess and even though it is simple it is
so tough against a good player. It becomes so simple that it is hard. While
they don't have the fleshing that RPG do. Or that wargames do they can be
just as difficult and fun against an expeirienced player.

Back on track though: Is there a skill Game Designer or Game R&D? would it be
concentration, a general or a specialization skill? What about Game Player?
These skills, which they are in real life, or just ways of playing the
character? Thought: A street samuri that play's RPG's on saturday to get rid
of the boredom of the runs ;)
