More text isn't necessarily bad. You can also hyperlink between different answers for cross references.

@SevenSidedDie -- Move the preamble text to the entries, as appropriate "This game emphasizes role-playing by making the player choose between the optimal mechanical choice and the optimal roleplaying choice." IMO, the original answer should be deleted since the format changed, but I think that leaving the original answer be with a note about the new answers near the top would work fine as well.

Now that the question has been moved to CW, it would be nice if these large answers could be broken up into one-game-per answer (and CWed).

comment What are the advantages of Tabletop Roleplaying Games over MMORPGS and CRPGs
This is like asking "what are the advantages of an FPS over a CRPG?" The two aren't competitors within the same space (as is most often the case of the language X vs. language Y debates). You don't look at a project and decide directly between pen and paper vs. CRPG. I don't think that the problem is so much that it's subjective as it is that it's lacking in a purpose for the answer (unless you are a game developer, trying to decide which medium to use, and the answers aren't useful for that). It might be more practical in a "how do you recruit CRPG players?" tone, or as a "fun" CW question.

comment 3d6 vs a d20: What is the effect of a different probability curve?
I particularly like the predictability when it comes to skill checks (as those don't typically have as many rolls to establish an average as attacks do). It's nice to be able to rely on the things you're supposed to be good at.

comment What are some of the major challenges in playing an Evil Character?
It's worth noting that evil doesn't HAVE to be this way. It's entirely possible to create a group of villains that operate as a cohesive group, or to mix good and evil characters in the same party without having them undermine eachother. However, what Foxxtrot describes is definitely the default assumption most people have regarding evil characters, and it takes a lot of work to move them away from that mindset.
