[QUOTE="Piperken, post: 9507744, member: 7047091"] I appreciated this piece of writing; I feel at the end, I lean towards what Snarf says here. There are constellations within each person that they bring to the table. A game, depending on intents of designer and how well it is built to emphasize those intents, will either highlight or minimize how brightly those sets of stars shine. One of those could be, [I]at any moment[/I], improv. Improv, as a whole, is its own genre in a subset of different modes used by actors or on the stage. There are definitely strong parallels between it and in an rpg setting, depending on the player, their interaction with others, and the game, one could argue they're engaged in doing improv. Experiences at the table can be made better by looking to improv. Absolutely. In the end, that's what participants desire. The overall purposes between improv (whether short, long or narrative as mentioned) and ttrpgs in their respective disciplines though, are vastly different. We have to acknowledge that. [/QUOTE]
