[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8202386, member: 16814"] To expand, I'm a fan of how stories are told. I love the way that stories are told as much, if not slightly more, than the stories themselves. As such, I pay attention to the craft of stories, in film, in books, in games. I'd like to think I'm pretty decent at evoking story in games, and I relish the opportunity to do it in different ways. How story is evoked in D&D is very, very different from how story is evoked in Blades in the Dark, and I like both. If you just want to consume a story, then how it's told is of secondary importance to you -- it matter only in that it provides you with a "good enough" story for you to enjoy. This is true of more than just stories, as well. However, the craft behind is important, even if you just want a product that meets your immediate entertainment/gustatory/material needs. And, to be clear, not caring about the craft is just fine -- it's perfectly fine to only look at how much you enjoy a thing and not the craft behind it. But, in a thread discussing the craft, dismissing it because you don't care doesn't contribute. [/QUOTE]
