Right, but this then becomes a reductio on RPGing as such. Like, if the art has already been created, what is the play for? A type of weirdly-mediated appreciation of the creation?

The art has not been created however, the sites and destination is clear but the journey hasn't been taken.

In Narr you play to find out how it ends. In genre, you play to find out how we get to the end.

Many campaigns have no end in sight or even intended, which has a funny result

In Narr you play to find out how...

In genre, you play to find out how we get to...

I’ve made multiple posts explaining the demarcation. I’ve done this on both on the level of intent, reward and how they’re facilitated by mechanics. If you’re still genuinely confused then I suspect we’re so far apart in out basic conceptualisations that nothing I say will satisfy you.

I was merely teasing about the paucity of that particular expression. That said, I observe folk reading broader meanings into what I write than I intend (and that my actual words say), so I appreciate that it might have seemed I was making a sweeping criticism.
