[QUOTE="apoptosis, post: 4583230, member: 3226"] [b] I DM I try to practice what i talk about My players seem happy and state that they are happier playing now than many years ago before I thought about these issues. They say the games are more fulfilling now than they were then. Of course that is hard to judge. Like many things it could be just that they are different so feel differently. It could be also that like many things you might have fun with X if you didnt know about Y, but now that you had done Y, X seems like less fun. (ignorance is bliss type of idea). It is all hard to say. I will say that the games have been relatively significantly (well no stats were done :) ) better since I dived into the theories of gaming and playing a lot of indy games. It has improved more traditional gaming as a result. We had fun in most all the games we ran (different groups too) but there were things that did bother us to some degree in the past (and are things that bug us now). I am sure some things only bothered me in retrospect (I didnt really think about X, but now that i think about X i am 'sure' it bugged me...a kind of revisionary thinking that could be a simple illusion).[/b] [/QUOTE]
