Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oofta" data-source="post: 9416031" data-attributes="member: 6801845">I'm just going to reiterate something.  Whether players should add to the fiction of the world outside of their character actions and some character specific details is a preferred style.  It has nothing to do with the GM having a precious world, demanding people respect their authority or anything like that. Repeatedly saying that is insulting.I want a game where I'm not making contributions to the world's fiction when I play because I don't want to.  It would totally take me out of investing in my character's motivations and thought process.  Then there's the other side of it when I DM, many people would be like deer caught in the headlights if I asked them to make up lore about the world around them.  Take my wife.  She's amazing and in many ways far more competent and capable than I am.  But making things up on the spot?  Just not her thing, her brain just doesn't work that way.  Give her time, let her sleep on it?  No problem.  Ask her to do it on the spot? It would be stressful, not fun.All I'm asking is that people play for different reasons, with different strengths an weaknesses.  There is no one true way and shared narrative style games simply aren't for everyone.  Stop telling me and everyone else that my preferences are stunted, that I simply don't understand the glory of your personal take on things because other game approaches don't appeal to me and I'll do the same.</blockquote>
