[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 4895366, member: 66434"] It isn't my fault if gamers see storytelling as a dirty word. It shouldn't be. The primary goal of a wargame is to fight, thus a wargame. The primary goal of a roleplaying game is to roleplay, thus a roleplaying game. The primary goal of a storytelling game is to create/tell stories. The ultimate goal of all of them is to have fun and all of them can provide that. As far as a "narrow view" goes, is it shortsighted to expect a wargame to provide combat as the main focus of play? You can roleplay during a wargame but you wouldn't fault the game for not providing support for it. Likewise, you can roleplay during a storytelling game but the design shouldn't be faulted for not having that as a main focus. The question I would like answered is why would someone who really enjoys playing storytelling games would hate them being called storytelling games?:confused: [/QUOTE]
