[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9641195, member: 6684958"] It is an Okay definition. This sounds like a terrible game to me, but I can see the appeal to others. The above reduces a RPG to being like a board game. And a lot of RPGs do that, so people must love the idea. My kind of RPG, "more then just a game". This is a big part. A traditional RPG just gives you tools to set up the game play.....but then just stops. As was found, very few people have the ability or will to make their own goals. Even fictional goals in a game. The vast majority of players want to be given a goal. This is common. Though good players do break this mold. For most players to feel they have agency, they need this type of limited focus game where their character is the special main character. I have found it best to have no illusions or real player agency. [/QUOTE]
