[QUOTE="chaochou, post: 8681218, member: 99817"] Really good post in a series of good posts. I just wanted to respond to this bit about 'immersive' because my experience is that it's a learned behaviour. When I started running Apocalypse World and asking provocative questions, my group struggled to start with. But when they learned that the answers were going to be central to play - and that therefore they were creating the situation for their characters and it was empowering, fun and an important part of the play structure - then they relaxed and were much more free in their inhabitation of character while answering. In my experience it doesn't take long. So questions like: "Okay who in your gang is the person who'd put it all on the line for you, no question, rock solid?" and "Okay, and who don't you trust at all, like they act like they want you out of the way so it can be their gang?" weren't causing anyone to blink after a few sessions.
