[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 9024751, member: 6804070"] I appreciate the post [USER=7023840]@Snarf Zagyg[/USER] . I learned something and thought about something today :) Two issues I have with FKR. (Poorly expressed, please try to comprehend what I'm trying to say, not what I actually say!) One: You state it right here: This is like telling a five year old, "You can be anything you want!" And their response is; "I want to be a suitcase." No structure, no rules, is hard for a reason. Most people prefer rules because it lets them know a framework for decision making. And here's the next problem; Now you are getting away from Roleplaying and getting to life. What this tells me is that the outcome of this event is not about the characters that are being played, but the negotiation skills of the participants. Or, even more detrimental, their willingness to cooperate and let other's have an impact on their vision of the game. And to me that is really the critical weakness of FKR. It requires players of compatible personalities. More so than an RPG that has rules that can be relied upon to resolve disagreements. Long car rides. I can image this being a great way to pass time and have fun with friends while on a road trip! [/QUOTE]
