[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 9623250, member: 6698278"] I kind of agree with Soviet here to a degree. I don't think players are thinking that in there minds. The players become their characters and the campaign world is the one they live in all the time. So for them it is like us discovering our own world. But one some cosmic scale that too is just a set of notes either Gods (my view) or random chance. I find this style done well to be incredibly immersive and actually thrilling. I find done poorly that it can be pretty poor. I think the narrative approach is a different sort of game. Those that enjoy it have their own reasons and perhaps for them it is immersive. It is not at all for me. It would be more akin to a boardgame where each player lays down tiles to change the game. I might enjoy a one off boardgame with those characteristics but I wouldn't want to roleplay an entire campaign that way. And I am most definitely NOT saying narrative play is a board game. I'm just saying in that one element they share something with those board games. [/QUOTE]
