Guess how much prep work I did each week in the 3 homebrew campaigns I talked about? Absolutely nothing beyond thinking. The exception was when I in 2 of them ran a prewritten adventure as we wanted a change of pace. There was a bit of prep reading and setting up for those. - oh, and writing up a page describing the prophetic dream one of the characters had while lying in a coma while it's player was away in the first one.So I do not really see that limiting factor you are talking about? I could of course run a dramatic style heist in D&D if I found the realistic approach too tedious for the scenario at hand.. (There is a difference between getting the Ruby in the mansion safe, and breaking fort Knox)But of course BitD is superior in heist. That is what it does. I am in no doubt about that.. But how well does it perform if we feel like it would be cool to put the characters trough a dungeon crawl for a change?And unfortunately I do not see anywhere you touch upon how player input factors into this?Edit: Reading closer it might be we are actually fully in agreement, just using the word "trad" differently. I use it for play where there is one GM that has full power over the rules - where the rules are just a toolset for the GM to use to help produce an experience everyone can appriciate. Your use of the term seem to be closer to what I would have called prepared map and key-play. In which case I fully agree that this particular style of play is extremely limiting if you bind yourself to that mast without allowing for more flexible approaches when needed. (I doubt any of the even most living world fanatics in this thread is fully in that category though..)</blockquote>
