Message: <blockquote data-quote="Manbearcat" data-source="post: 8416167" data-attributes="member: 6696971">That is a very helpful post and its the crux of what I'm getting at.I'm trying to distinguish OSR from FKR in my brain.  Whereas OSR might generate a lot of subsystems through the course of play (encoding it in the way I depicted above; table defers to GM > GM makes ruling > ruling is either encoded or iterated upon and then encoded), what is FKR doing?  And how does that doing work with "its a trust-heavy system."Is it rulings just get made and there is an intentional absence of encoding happening (meaning, you will, by intent, see variations of resolution across a distribution of the same sort of action/conflict resolution)?If there is that intentional absence of encoding and deviation of action resolution across a distribution of declared actions/conflicts to resolve, what does "its a trust-heavy system" look like in that scenario?  Is it trust that the GM has sufficient expertise to be able to work out odds of success/fail in a way that is sensible to my own mental model (despite deviation in action/conflict resolution paradigm)?  Is it trust that the GM has the humility to defer to other participants to negotiate these matters when they lack said expertise?  Is it trust that we're all working toward some common goal (eg the GM will enable a play experience of Cosplay My Power Fantasy or Experience the Chilling Environment of a Pogrom or The Thrill of Free Soloing El Capitan) and all efforts poured into this thing will (somehow...even if I can't see it right now?) get there?  What is the trust?</blockquote>
