[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 9623243, member: 6698278"] I find the immersiveness of narrative games to be more akin to the immersiveness of most games in general. You can get into almost any game deeply. What sets our style of play apart and why I think D&D exploded in the 1970's as a new form of game is the immersion in a setting different from our own world but feeling like a magical version of it. The various narrative approaches always push us out of that immersion. If my fellow player names a tavern and especially if the DM asked him to name it, I instantly start thinking like a player and not my character. I don't like that experience. I want a DM who will to the very best of his or her ability hide the fact the world is not real. I want the appearance of a living breathing world where my suspension of disbelief is strong enough that I half believe it's real. I get that from books and movies that are really good. When a book or movie though does something stupid and non-immersive, it is ruined for me. [/QUOTE]
