[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8272954, member: 16814"] Except, and here's the crux of it, you aren't doing horror in 5e, you're just doing horror and happen to be using 5e. The kind of improv approach you seem to favor from the examples of your play you've provided makes it clear that you're more than happy to just make it up and use your GM's chair to make it happen. Which is great, by the way. The issue, though, is that it isn't 5e that has anything really to do with this, outside of the fact that it's a system that intentionally puts everything in the GM's hands, but you that does this. I think you'd be just fine making all of these claims in another system, provided it's at least similar in the way it puts things into the GM's hands. I also think that you'd find the constraints on the GM enforced by a PbtA game to be absolutely frustrating. Which is, again, fine. The argument isn't that this isn't a great way to play -- clearly you and yours have fun, so it is a great way to play. The argument has been on whether this is a function of you and your table or the system. I'm saying it's you. [/QUOTE]
