[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 6182308, member: 42582"] Yes. That 4e leans this way in certain respects is not very contentious, I think, among those who care for the Forge framework. Whether it's actually well-suited to narrativist play is a different matter - I think it is (based on my own play experience) but [MENTION=386]LostSoul[/MENTION], [MENTION=6688937]Ratskinner[/MENTION] and others have good points to make (based on their own play experiences) about 4e's issues and limitations in this respect. 4e does give the players a high degree of control over story, via their choices at PC build. This is the matter of "thematic loading" of PC design choices - [MENTION=6696971]Manbearcat[/MENTION] and I find this to be quite high in 4e, whereas others disagree. At least in part, I think this reflects different attitudes towards certain gonzo fantasy tropes. But that's probably not all of it. [/QUOTE]
