[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 6076245, member: 386"] I recently started a campaign of Star Wars d6, and I think it's a classic example of a high-concept sim game. In this game, the thematic choices, theme, morals, and the rest don't come from the GM but instead the source material - for us, this is the version of "A New Hope" where Han shot first. As GM, I am running the game using "pemertonian scene-framing", aimed at giving the players the opportunity to act like Star Wars characters. (What was life like for Han and Chewie before A New Hope?) I have a tendency to drift Star Wars towards vanilla narrativism over time, though - once the characters are developed and we've had our fill of the source material, the players answer the moral questions Star Wars asks in their own way. e.g. Is forgiveness a virtue? Answer: No, sometimes revenge is the moral response. This requires a tweak to the Character Point/Force Point/Dark Side Point rules, though. [/QUOTE]
