Then why do you keep calling your approach "objective"? You've done that a dozen times in this thread alone.

Yes. I know that that is true. But the way it was said did not allow for that possibility. It simply said, if you don't have this...

Well, then, I'm glad you've had games which serve that purely-casual interest since literally the hobby began. Kinda seems like a "how...

Yeah. "When everything is X, nothing is" is a hugely flawed premise that almost always actually falls down. Syndrome's use of it in...

But I think this begs an extremely important question: Does it in fact "exist prior to play and independently of the PCs"? Or is this...

Okay. Whether you want it to be or not, (a) it is a world that only exists in order for people to interact with it (no GM would create...
