[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8552792, member: 7006"] For me I started with the amount of rules in the game, and the amount of time it takes to fulfill the rules conditions relative to the amount of time "in-world" occurs. That put me up around in the 90 percentiles. But then I took into account actual table-time of the players in Combat relative to the rest of the session and then dropped that number down to where I voted, 71 to 80%. We players do not focus on combat in our games... even though I freely admit most of the written rules are designed around combat. But that's okay... because I'm not one who actually wants/needs rules regarding Exploration and Social... those we are all happy to just use narration on it. As I mentioned in another thread... I think Exploration and Social are both all about what [I]the players[/I] want to do and want to say... and thus rules are not necessary to help dictate or guide what they want. It's all about their choice. As I said in the other thread... just look at what the DM says to players at the start of the three Pillars: Exploration: [I]"What do you do?"[/I] Social: [I]"What do you say?"[/I] Combat: [I]"Roll for initiative."[/I] To me, that's all the indication I need to know to see where the rules need to be placed. :) [/QUOTE]
