[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7476545, member: 22779"] Just read [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION]'s play examples. Where in the rules was there a suggestion that the players take employment? Now, I realize you were using canned adventures from the book in order to get things rolling quickly, but, are you saying that there are no other scenarios that could be played with this game? The scenario seems largely generated by the players, not the rules. The rules just let you adjudicate the scenario, not create the scenario. A better example comes from Traveller: Where in the rules did it tell you that? It's a pretty straightforward scenario, sure, but, it's not like the rules gave you that scenario - you came up with that yourself. It would seem to me like you created a scenario first (granted without a lot of time beforehand) and then played out the scenario. The scenario wasn't randomly generated, it came from you, [MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION]. Thus, my exact point - Game ---->Scenario -------> Play. The game may have helped you generate the scenario, but, it in no way actually generated it. Without you coming up with that scenario, it would have been four or five people staring at each other around a table. [/QUOTE]
