[QUOTE="AnotherGuy, post: 9514955, member: 7029930"] Maybe, although the personal examples I'm drawing on was not an action declaration but actual authorship of NPCs that had the table rebel against those. As an side, having participated in this thread, I'm of the opinion that the Odin example is out of the depth of most trad players in that it requires some thinking work from the DM - possibly mechanics, limitations, setting changes, costs and some house rules. It is quite a big buy in to ask when one's trying to convince them to [LIST] [*]narrate simple character declarations without the assistance of a DM, such as [I]I punch the nearest patron in the tavern; [/I]or [*]have their character answer a simple origin question, such as [I]was your father an elf? [/I] [/LIST] nevermind things like letting a player [LIST] [*]create 3 characters they've met and have a good, poor or indifferent relationship with[I];[/I] [*]determine if the upcoming village has a blacksmith and if their character knows him; or [*]describe the magical sword they found[I]...[/I]etc [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
