Title: complexity and control
Post by: Vash the white on April 30, 2010, 02:21:21 PM
i just want to double check this, my friend kept asking me the difference between control and complexity, so i told him that complexity was fancy cool stuff and that control was just being able to make sure it doesnt kill you, was i right?

Complexity = The Fiddly Bits of a Ritual, how many there are, and how hard it is to keep them working correctly.

Control = You skill at controlling those fiddly bits.

eh, not quite how I'd explain it.  Complexity is how difficult it is to create the effect you want.  Control is pretty much what you say it is.
