[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 9537983, member: 7034710"] i didn't think micah was even discussing party story focus vs character story focus (unless it was part of a different conversation thread that i was paying less attention to), but rather what qualifies something to be defined as a story in the first place. but why can't both story focuses be present at once? the story of the party and the stories of all the individual members of that party who have their own subplots going on, individual threads doesn't have to turn things into 'Me, the protagonist, oh and those other guys are here too', the party is part of a mercenary company all hired to stop a doomsday cult, but in the meantime the cleric wants to investigate the dubious history of their church, the rogue is an estranged noble looking to earn their way back into their family's good graces and the artificer is trying to track down a set of magical relics.
