We are talking about the GM using his/her authorial authority to establish elements of the fiction, including outcomes.Examples of play in which the GM establishes not only motivations but reactions of NPCs by sheer authorial power; or in which the players' understanding of the in-fiction social or political dynamics is acquired by dint of gradual GM reveals through his/her decisions about what NPCs say and how they react; seem to me to be paradigm examples of GM curation.</blockquote>
