I'd actually say that this is the case in the MAJORITY of trad play. In fact it actually forms a MAJOR THEME in the quest of gamers and designers to 'figure out' the RPG experience and 'make it better'. To relegate it all to just some 'horror story' that is implied to be largely fictitious doesn't strike me as very credible.</p></blockquote><p></p>
