Pushing back a bit here regarding how you play it vs what I perceive as the intended purpose of the rule structure. I thought the whole point of BitD clarifying position and effect after a ‘declared action’ was so a player could say oh, I didn’t realize the effect would be so little so im going...

1. Not a railroad. 2. Generally I don’t. For me a railroad is more of an extreme thought experiment construct than a term describing actual reality. For me the quintessential railroad is when a PC with nearly unlimited options does things and no matter what the PC does the DM responds in...

Instead of pitting it as stakes vs no stakes OR diegetic vs non-diegetic perhaps we should break that into 4 categories. Stakes and diegetic. Stakes and non-diegetic. No stakes and diegetic. No stakes and non-diegetic. That may aid in clarity?

I agree with your take but anytime one with quasi police powers weighs in it can have a bit of a chilling effect on the side that disagrees. I don’t get the impression that everyone here agrees with your take and now it’s less likely we get to see the root cause as opposed to just silence and...

I kind of agree about traditional style RPGs. But they don’t pretend they are not doing that do they?

Fun story - It’s actually ‘objects in mirror are closer than they appear’. Welcome to the rabbit hole.

Are you from the universe where it was always “Objects in mirror May be closer than they appear”? Because reading that headline as if it had any capitalization makes me think we must be from alternate universes.

I mean your not wrong, but priorities…

Side rant. One thing that perplexes me is that BitD proponents tend to act like the game is very fleshed out with little to no DM fiat and little the DM can do wrong if he and the players follow the rules and principles, but I see a big potential difference in when, why and how different DMs use...

To answer my own question werewolves seem to represent wild untamed chaotic evil and vampires seem to represent a hierarchal and charismatic lawful evil. Those 2 characterizations are simply at odds.
