[QUOTE="Aberzanzorax, post: 5185695, member: 64209"] This is a very interesting topic, but, while I get the overall basic topic, I'm not sure what exactly the OP is specifically talking about. I get the idea of decision trees and having different decisions lead to different reprecussions...but I don't get the need for them in DMing. I like what one poster said about presenting A and B and they pick Z. A dm should be able to go with this, and that's fundamentally what I like most about playing D&D with people rather than playing a computer RPG. NOW, that said, I can see the need for flowcharts in printed material. If I write an adventure, all of the questions regarding flowcharts, making meaningful choices and having choices appear meaningful begin to matter much more. So, to clarify, is this thread more about writing adventures in such a way, or DMing in such a way? I think those are very different questions as DMs are fluid while printed material is static.
