[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9616772, member: 6684958"] There are! The only limits on what can happen are placed by you. Yes? I don't see how prep and details have anything to do with stakes in the game. What are you talking about? So for you it is not about comfort? What then? Power? So what your saying is you don't have the will to create things at random and you need limits to help you out. So only when some rolls and rules give you limits you can be creative. They sure seem like board games. But I'd guess your just going to say something like "hey they don't have boards so they are not board games...hehe" or something like that, right? But for example, board games have hard rules all players must obey always. Your games have hard rules all players(including that payer-dm) must obey always. So, similar... Ok, but the games also have a great many limits......right? I try from post to post, but mostly get ignored. I could try right now: Can you list a couple of the Big Limits you Must Have in a game to play? Things in the game rules that Force your DM to do or not do something you approve or disapprove of? Some how I don't think you will want to answer....and you might even say your game is "limitless". But that won't be accurate..... Good Question! This is the tricky bit. As people will say something is possible and might happen, but "must be rare". And that is a "rare" as in "will never really happen" or at best "can only happen like once a year or so". [/QUOTE]
