In most cases (after the opening story arc) it was established in most cases by the players and the GM.I don't think [USER=42582]@pemerton[/USER] is denigrating 5E, though he admits to not knowing the game as well as someone who plays it regularly. I think the game is more flexible in practice than he does, seems to be our major point of difference. I don't think he's denigrating my style of play, either, for that matter.I guess it doesn't feel as though I'm gatekeeping, because so much of my deciding, and keeping track of what you're calling "secret fiction," and suchlike, seems to happen on an unconscious (or preconscious) level. Most of the time I don't know what the secret fiction is until it comes out of my mouth (or otherwise becomes apparent).</blockquote>
