If secret backstory means they all end up dragooned into doing some adventure stuff on the other side of the world, so be it.As long as the following four things apply:Drama and group interest in itEmergence (Even if it's done through secret backstory and GM fiat)Character decisions aren't based on genre recreation.Important stuff isn't decided by player skillThen I'd classify it as Narrativist. Everything else is just various dials. I do have a caveat though, which honestly might apply. If there isn't drama in a session and the group is fine with that, then maybe not after all.It's kind of arbitrary but you can spend a session doing small talk while shopping, if you do two sessions doing small talk while shopping then yeah it's a push to say that's Narrativist because there's no drama. (if the groups happy just doing endless mundane stuff that is)Also I really do mean group fun. If your players are turtled up and going along with stuff except for some thespo moments. Then I'm going to raise an eyebrow no matter what you're doing. Also if you have to stick with the party then I'm going to disqualify it (maybe that's arbitrary but these are my rules). Although it's the latter clause that probably disqualifies a whole lot of play.</blockquote>
