In an effort to bring up interesting conversations, I ask what is the nature of story. Often folk talk about the story in their games. many say that RPGs are about stories and such.
So what does that mean? Story? What is the nature of it?
I mean, we could look it up in a dictionary, which says, basically, a narrative describing a series of events. But that's not what we tend to mean when we say story in regards to a film or novel, and for many, not for their games, either.
There is something that makes Jaws better than Jaws 2, Jaws 2 better than Jaws 3, and Jaws the Revenge utter crap.
So, what do you think nature of story is?
