Is this based on your experiences of play? Or is it conjecture? What are your thoughts on the role of prep in (say) Dogs in the... -

Do you have anything to say about these things? I mean, it seems fairly obvious - doesn't it? - that simulationist experiences of...

Perhaps the same reason that people who insist on calling anything that isn't done according to their exact preferences "reality-warping...

This may be your point but it wasn't mine. But, I will say this. The GNS model is an attempt to extract playstyles from what exists...

Hussar replied to the thread D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting..This is so frustrating in this thread. I say this three times and I'm told I'm 100% wrong every time. You say it once and everyone...

I think causality is often messed up if we are thinking just about what we do at the table. Resolving hit locations in RQ being a clear...

Yeah, this is my biggest objection to the "toss everything left into sim" element of GNS; it lumps together two things that I don't...

So, with respect, simulation in general does not require that association. That association is specific to what is usually called...

Hussar replied to the thread D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting..Really? You don't narrate scenes unless the players specifically tell you that they are looking? They just wander around completely...

Hussar replied to the thread D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting..Yup, in that case, you can say that it was skill that granted success. Absolutely. Nice corner case where the mechanics do actually...
