[QUOTE="Lord Mhoram, post: 8989696, member: 4789"] It can work depending on player preference. I try to go full immersion and become my character, so me as a playing having any impact on the world, outside of the actions of my character, pull me out of that. So I personally would find that approach frustrating, as it would keep me from enjoying the specific thing that roleplaying brings to me as a hobby. But I know I am in the minority. I do currently play Cypher, which has player intrusions and ways to have that impact not through my character but by "meta" points. So I am getting used to that... but while I really enjoy the system, I don't feel as connected to my character as otherwise. Now - I make a point of building characters that have motivations to move within the world and act on it, good for teamwork and partnership and the like so when I am "Just playing my character" it helps the group and the GM, not interferes with them. To me that is just being a good player. :D [/QUOTE]
