[QUOTE="Andor, post: 5655061, member: 1879"] I'm not a mod or anything, but that's pretty insulting. It's also completely offbase. GSN is a somewhat useful set of benchmarks for use in comparing playstyles or systems or campaigns, etc. It is not the "TRUTH" any more than the metric system produces truer measurements than the english system. There were GMs and players who knew what they were doing before anyone ever dreampt up the GSN definitions, and there are GMs and player now who can quote you chapter and verse about GSN today and still run a boring game. As far as not wanting to know... *shrug* Talk to a drama major some time, they'll often tell you that taking classes on cinematography is an excellent way to ensure you'll never enjoy another movie again. Once the tool kit is laid bare, the magic goes away and all you can think it "Hey! He stole that line from the 1962 remake, and using a dissolve instead of a fade ruins the sub-text anyway."
