For instance, until something is introduced in play, it’s not yet established. You can only change things that are established. So therefore, the players will absolutely notice. You seem to be assuming that play must be prep heavy and that changes to the prep can go unseen. But many folks here would not view it that way. Also, as a GM, I don’t think I’m allowed to change anything I want. Again, this is related to things introduced into play. Those things are not generally meant to be changed… though they can perhaps be given a new context. As long as I don’t contradict what’s previously been established. There are even some rules systems that tell a GM when they can take such an action, and don’t grant the GM carte blanche to do whatever they like. As for the players being an audience… they are the people who are partaking in the events of play. They are very much an audience in that sense. Especially if we’re going to talk about things like “edits” and such that come up in literature and film. Whether you consider the players an audience or not does not change the fact that they would witness “edits” in a way that the audience for a film or book would not.</blockquote>
