I think that what happens a lot of time is that these topics come up in the General RPG Forum, but references “DM” instead of “GM”, and so half the folks wind up discussing according to D&D and the other half are discussing RPGs generally. In this case, I think the approach is fairly well understood, except at its most extreme. But as is often the case in these discussions, when folks assume the worst and most degenerate form of play, we don’t get very far.I mean, we could assume that GM driven play consists of the GM writing a novel in game form with the PCs as protagonists, and they progress exactly as pre-ordained. But I don’t think anyone who’s advocating for the GM as sole arbiter of the fiction is going to that extreme.It’d help if others did the same.</blockquote>
