It's also not in any way required for a good story to emerge from play.On the other hand the party absolutely has goals. That may be as simple as they're working for a mercenary company that tries to only take contracts that help people.  The complexity, the story is in what kind of adversaries they face, what allies they can make. I simply don't understand where the disconnect is here.</blockquote>
