[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 4026327, member: 42582"] As with Skeptic I also like these things in a game - indeed, they are part of my theory of how RM can facilitate narrativist play to a greater extent than RQ (a superficially similar purist-for-system game engine). I would add to your specs for purist-for-system at least the following: the total character sheet is a product of the system and of play using the system, rather than a metagamed springboard for play. I've reread Ron Edwards articles many times since I first discovered them a couple of years ago. It's only over time that they've really started to make sense to me, as I reflect on my own gaming experiences and also see how some of the ideas play out in message board threads (like this one, and also on the ICE boards - posting any remotely narrativist or gamist ideas there very quickly reveals how hardcore simulationists think!).
