I've been poking at this huge thread and only today, while waiting to get a filling put into my tooth, did I bother to read some of it –...

The narrative aspects of the game would be slightly different from the definitions of fiction first I've seen then, thanks for the...

I might be able to explain. Mercer is an old school trad GM at heart. He's an incredibly nice guy, and has no problem going along with...
