Message: <blockquote data-quote="Riley37" data-source="post: 7609380" data-attributes="member: 6786839">The webcomic "Order of the Stick" started with the PCs fighting some goblins. Where and why? Not yet established; the fight scene sufficed to set up a joke. I dunno how much the author had thought ahead, and how much he made decisions episode by episode. Hundreds of episodes later, the setting and characters are established in more detail than some TRPGs I've played.I dunno if the same approach would work for a TRPG, because any two players could be making decisions based on divergent assumptions. For example, one player could assume that the PCs always default to "goblins are all bad guys, and any interaction with any goblins means violent conflict" and another player could assume "clearly we have some specific beef with these particular goblins."</blockquote>
