What, beyond revealing what is written in the GM's notes, does your toolbox of exploration analysis reveal about the process of your play specifically? Again, as [USER=42582]@pemerton[/USER] notes above, there is nothing inherently wrong about gameplay that is based upon a GM revealing their notes being the focus of play! Except you oppose this characterization as somehow demeaning (not capturing "the magic") on a personal level.I doubt you will ever find satisfaction of this kind from these arguments, largely because, to this observer, at least, you refuse to confront the actual processes at play in your game. When your participation boils down to opposing an argument as reductionist because you object to how that makes you feel rather than what insights it may offer, how can you hope to profit from these discussions?</blockquote>
