But then, different things appeal to different players, YMMV, horses for courses etc I think it's a real blessing if you find people who enjoy playing the same style of game that you do, but the corollary of that is that it can be a pain finding people to play with who play in the same style you enjoy.  I try to be flexible as a player, and have played in a lot of different types of games, but I agree that after you have played for a while, you know what you like. I think it's important though to acknowledge that no one else's style of play of play is inherently better or worse than yours. I for one am very happy for narrative devices to be used from other realms of creative expression, whether they be literary, cinematic, improvisational etc. I also don't mind at all a meta aspect to the game especially when framing a session or a linear narrative flow. I don't think an absolute prohibition on the idea is helpful. Played right, I would be very happy for my GM to run a 'captured' game for me, and FWIIW, I think Alaxk Knight of Galt 's advice is sound for the sort of game I would enjoy. SelcSilverhand would do well to read through the advice in this thread, evaluate his player group, and make a call from there.</blockquote>
