We're deciding to play a game designed narrativist because we want a particular arrangement of things:Now that particular piece of prep is only useful to us (assuming we want they above arrangement [which we should if we are playing Apocalypse World]) if it helps to either create or sustain this dynamic. Does it introduce powerful conflicts of interest that speak to the characters' passions? Does it help establish or refine PC values? Does it help to make sure the salient players in these conflict are equipped for them? If does none of those things than it's not useful prep for Narrativist play (which we want if we're playing a game meant for that).We have to start with that desire and our prep should serve that. That doesn't mean a particular level of myth. It just means what we create should be fit to purpose.</blockquote>
