[QUOTE="Campbell, post: 6298931, member: 16586"] I'm just going to offer a quick explanation of jargon here. When I talk about [B]the fiction[/B] I'm referring to the parts of the setting that current player decisions will affect - not some conch passing story. I'm making the distinction that what I value is the current situation and its immediate fallout. I care about the greater setting, just not nearly as much as the parts players and their characters immediately interact with. For my part the games I enjoy most fit strongly into the more game play centered "story games" and traditional games that embrace some elements of "story games". Examples include Burning Wheel, Apocalypse World, Cortex+, 13th Age, Post GMC World of Darkness and D&D 4e. I strongly value skilled play. I just prefer that it include elements like characters who are motivated by more than their best interests, emotional connections, and thematically strong fictional elements. I am not much of a fan of Donjon and The Window. [/QUOTE]
