Most painful thing I've had to write in a while

Why? Because I spend a lot of time and emotionally energy in said isolated circles.

Ahw, fuck it all.

So, basically, I'm in the school of never ever compromising your art.

That only works if you're sure about what you want to create. If you're open to a lot of different things, picking between them isn't "compromising."

That's true in a way.

However, I don't yet know a successful artist, at least in our tiny field of tabletop game design, whose creative process is based around "so what do *you* want?" Where you is someone not them.

True dat. If the buck doesn't stop with you, you're lost.

If you're not sure what you want to create, it ain't art.
