I meant specifically with the collaborative style of gaming found in the types of games mentioned in the OP and that I've been talking about. I expect I have more experience with such games than you do. I think this is obvious from both our comments. Would you disagree with that? I think that it's just a shift in focus. But the idea that it's a self-evident truth is largely what I'm arguing against. This idea that there is a "true" way to do this. Of course I've played with GMs who struggle with the unexpected. I've been that GM, as well. I absolutely understand it. But it's not a "self-evident truth" that it needs to be that way. That idea is like a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's a skill that takes time and practice. Not everyone wants to spend that time to learn a new way. Lots of others don't even think it's possible, and so never even consider it. I know this because I was largely unaware of such games for the bulk of my RPG career. Oh, I have no problem with the content or overall tone... I just don't see the need to go back and forth on every comment. Describing it as a belief is the kind of thing that really comes across odd to me. I mean... it's true.</blockquote>
