Pemerton, on the other hand, seems to enjoy a story that provides good structure, but really enjoys the openness of the narrative as the primary feature of 4e. Whereas, DA, Bryon, and TAG, as well as myself, appear (obviously with potentially huge variation and degree) to enjoy clear rules and limits on the details of the world and the narrative that structure it. Or in more edition related terms, Hussar seems to like the balance of 4e, Pemerton likes the narrative freedom, and 3e offers less narrative freedom and less balance, but creates more narrative structure, and for some, along with that, immersion. (Oh, and @Herreman_the_wise, I respect you too, and recognize you've been taking part in the conversation but don't know you well enough to guess how you play).    Sooo, now everyone can tell me how far off I am. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
