[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 8305726, member: 6801286"] I'm not saying "other than", but I'm suggesting that there may be other goals in addition to mere entertainment. Look at it this way: if a person reads lords of the rings, and ends up entertained, despite not remembering any of the characters names, or names of locations, does that matter? For some, entertainment of any kind may be enough. But I have higher expectations of how my players are entertained. If my players don't remember anything about my world, despite being entertained, I would still feel that I had failed as a DM to some degree. I want to give my players more than just simple entertainment. I also want my players to be immersed, and to remember the world that I've crafted. I want them to be entertained on more than just a superficial level. And I think a lot of players do care "how much" they are entertained, and how immersive the fictional world presented to them is. I think that makes the difference between a good DM and a great DM. [/QUOTE]
