(Yes this is related to some TTRPG discourse that’s going around about the OSR and rulings not rules and thinking outside the character sheet, which is still a conversation in desire of nuance)
It doesn’t matter how clever my RP is or my ideas are, if the GM is final arbiter of failure or success, none of that matters. The only “skill” is persuading them. In my games the GM is another player with some different rules but not the omniscient arbiter of the game. Sic semper tyrannis.
Years and years of running older editions of D&D and Amber Diceless Roleplaying especially taught me that own thing I really don’t like in TTRPGs is GM fiat.
If one sheet's all you need But the text's hard to read that's a Mork Borg
When it’s the end of the world All will blacken and burn That’s a Mörk Borg
If your book or your tome’s filled with skulls, blood, and bones that’s a Mork Borg
this is why we cant have nice things pay your artists, pay your craftsmen

It looks like ISBNdb did a 180 on the “let’s sell books to AI companies to scan and destroy.”
These fuckers have enough self-awareness to know that what they're doing is shameful. That makes it worse.
Why is everything so transparently evil now?
