[QUOTE="Malmuria, post: 8437863, member: 7030755"] responding my thoughts on this in this thread rather than necro-ing the other one This seems like a practice that can travel across different types of games? As in, best practices for gms: build your situations around the goals of the characters, present opportunities for them to impact the situation; and for players: be proactive Best practice: don't be constrained by your prep. The typical example of this might be the random table, not because the table represents a pre-authored exclusive list of things that could possibly happen, but because it provides a basis for improvisation and content generation that is to greater or less degrees gm-neutral (depending on who made the table). By the same token, I don't mind a dice roll of any kind-->half-drunk warrior npc, but I think in practice it would be rather [I]indiscernible[/I] whether that was an pre-authored or improvised "input" or an "output."
