[QUOTE="F4NBOY, post: 3779931, member: 54553"] nWoD Corebook, p.150: "During combat, the Storyteller describes the changing environment after each turn... These descriptions should be as detailed and creative as possible. This is the Storyteller’s chance to show off her narrative talents and to turn a series of dice rolls into a dramatic, amusing and entertaining story for the benefit* of all." *:Hallelujah! :rolleyes: I'm not implying anything, so don't imply that I'm implying. I'm sorry, but everything you say really sound to me like that. Things like: -wouldn't have progressed in the same way. -I came to be a much better roleplayer -highly experienced RPs -I remember what a [U]revelation[/U] Shadowrun was to me -not just "How to win" (which, down the road, often leads to the worst kinds of munchkinism). -Sure, people like you and me, experienced RPers, will be RPing and loving it, but unless the book explains to the newbs, the information is NOT going to magically appear in their brains. What's a good or bad roleplayer? Experienced RPs? Because they played for too long or are too "good"? Munchkinism is bad? why? It's for you, but do you think it's for every one. Maybe some people like and think that "How to rolpleay (wich, down the road, often leads to the worst kinds of boredom) Who's wrong and who's right? You have your opinion about RP, but it's a subjective opinion, you can't really consider that to be a truth to everyone. All that you said so far would be completelly correct IF RP wasn't a subjective matter. But you keep talking as if it were, If there was an specifically definition of what RP is or isn't. If it was something black and white, but it's not. You keep selling a "truth" that's only a truth to you and people that think like you. I have a perfect religious analogy for that discussion, but the Rules do not allow me to post it here Please don't ascribe motives to me. And for the record, nobody would buy it because it would be a useless book. [/QUOTE]
