I’m coming to the table with a different expectation that I would if I were playing a run of the mill board game or card game.To put more of a contrast on it, I can be invited to a poker game, and I’m not thinking of it in terms of an emerging story. If I’m invited to a D&D game, I’m already starting to think in story related ways. Whether the result ends up satisfactory is kind of beside the point for me, though it’d have to be really bad for me not to come away with some sort of synopsis for what happened in that game.</blockquote>
