Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 8165368">I will say, sometimes people are just operating from very different conceptions and play backgrounds. I have talked with Estar a number of times about RPGs and RPG design and we seem to communicate well enough about it (and our approaches are not identical). There are communities I am in, where I have no trouble conveying what I am talking about. I may not be expressing my ideas well here. I can send you a couple of PDFs I've done if you want and you can skim through the GM material, and determine if what I have to say makes sense or is unintelligible to you. If you are genuinely curious, more than happy to do that. I definitely wouldn't say I have a unified theory of RPGs that I operate by. And my aims often shift from book to book. For example one of my games is set up as a wuxia dramatic sandbox, while the game that followed is Chinese Horror-Investigation, with a monster-of-the week approach (and not a sandbox game). Right now I am running a bunch of wuxia one shots, each divided into two sessions and each adventure based on a single wuxia film (where the players bid to be one of the characters in the film). After that I am going to resume play testing my wuxia crime campaign, which is all about the players rising up through the ranks of a criminal organization. Here is an adventure I ran for Halloween recently to give you an idea of how I approach things, when not operating in a strict sandbox: <a href="http://thebedrockblog.blogspot.com/2020/11/head-of-teahouse-strange-tales-adventure.html" target="_blank">HEAD OF THE TEAHOUSE</a>Also here is a game I ran online with Estar, my friend Adam, Deathblade and Elliot. It is more focused on a dungeon crawl, but might give you an idea of how I tend to run games: [MEDIA=youtube]PLZnEbaKvNk:8071[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
