That is one of the great benefits of a set of rules. 6 socially inept geeks can sit down together around a table and simply follow a set of rules, process, and adhere to some principles, and things can go smoothly. If I run a PbtA game, or a PACE game (sort of a diceless Maelstrom basically) then it ALWAYS goes pretty well. I know what to do. Everyone is on the same page, and the process is coherent. I mean, D&D is not some sort of disaster either, it has a bunch of rough edges, but it gives you a basic structure to work with. Now, the WW 'Storyteller' stuff, or 2e played 'as written' runs into bigger problems, but most any RPG will get you most of the way there. Trying to do unstructured play with the same geeks? They better get along well, else probably things will be sub-optimal. Mostly they just won't know exactly what to do...</blockquote>
