What you describe actually gets shoehorned into Simulation in GNS (so that Narrativism can be confined to 'exploration of Premise'), but that's a different kettle of fish. |
Hmmm... I thought the "realistic" rules (and physics supported by rules) were an important part of Simulationism, as in such games as Rolemaster or Harn? I may be wrong here, because it's been a while since I read the GNS theory, and I haven't discussed Ed's DMing style with him in person.
