I played with different groups and spent maybe 2010 to about 2019 doing the more narrative version of no-myth. I never found it that satisfying, there were great moment but really expressive play seemed just out of reach.The switch to situation play involved a reorientation towards the medium, a change in my creative relationship toward other players, a change in in what the purpose of play was and a change in how I 'read/interpreted' the fiction. So pretty big stuff.It might sound strange but that switch in perspective carries over into all sorts of games, it's not just a mechanical thing. How I approach In A Wicked Age and The Quiet year, was very different. My approach to rules texts changed, I used to be in the camp of 'these are rules, follow them to get the required play experience' now I don't think that way at all.I don't know if it was 'just' the switch to situation play that caused all this but it gave me a new metric of judgement to apply to all the other stuff.</blockquote>
