[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 7088548, member: 205"] But he's right! You don't HAVE to take into account the character's needs and desires if you're running a game focused on exploration of a DM's plot and setting. (I assume you mean characters, as you have to take into account all players' desires or the game falls apart.) I mean, it certainly helps, and if you do, I think that will almost certainly help your game. But you can just as easily play that style of game with characters with no goals other than "get stronger and find treasure" and still have an entertaining, solid game. I know, I've done it! Again, I've never seen a [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION] post where he has said your play style is wrong or bad (that was the other thread, I think, and better not to rehash here). He's been pretty upfront that he doesn't like it personally, but why should that matter? I don't see you advocating for people to try out narrative games, and I'm not offended in the slightest. [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION] isn't required to act like an arbiter on these topics simply because he makes really long posts that sometimes get people riled up.
