[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 9231447, member: 71699"] Coming back to TR/CR based on reading these last few pages, resolution could be looked at from a perspective of "what does system decide on, and what is left up to play?" (It's not TR is more system decides and CR more left to play, both can be system heavy etc.) [B]Task resolution[/B] - do I get my foreseen effect? Play lies in whether effects collectively compell outcomes I want. Play is found in the to-and-fro or cut-and-thrust of cleverly chosen effects, with roshambo-interactions and odds as complications. Failure discounts the effect without refunding its price. [B]Conflict resolution[/B] - do I get my chosen outcome. Play lies in whether I can massage fictional-position to legitimate choosing that outcome. Play is found in clever roleplay that carries the group along with the story I'm telling. Complications nudge my story onto a different track. Failure gives someone else control of the story. I appreciate that this will not be quite right, but wanted to take a cut at it to see how it looks written down? A side-notion I wanted to test is that looking for the same three-tier results index for TR as CR is either a mistake or produces a hybrid, as what is available and appropriate to complicate ought to differ.
