However I do beleive that statements like american GM's flop when playing European games is a load of crap.  While personally I take offense to the statement that Canadian game playing must be like American game playing and that Canada is america with a different flag, being a Canadian myself, I do believe that American story telling is by no means dead.  Looking at common media sources such as literature and movies, European story telling usually has more deep meaning, but it is also typically less entertaining to the typical hack and slash oriented DnD player.  American story telling is typically more action oriented, not as much as Asian media, but still more so that that of most other nations.  The high adventure philosophy, I believe, is the best one for any type of gaming, and while american media does flood the Canadian market, I am by no means ignorant of the media of other nations.  So to me the statement that American GM's are more rules oriented, as part of the american media, albeit a small part, all I have to say is that I would have hard time believe that European's make for more entertaining gaming than anyone else.  Some Americans are good and others suck, but the same is true globally.  This whole discussion is mearly one of national pride, and actually has very little to do with gaming at all, in my humble opinion.</p></blockquote><p></p>
