[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 4033064, member: 386"] Hey RC; I think Bastoche is talking about a game that begins like so: "The old heroes gathered round one last time before death came calling. 'Fellows, on the eve of our last battle, tell me a story.' 'What would you hear?' 'Tell me of the time you defeated the Dragon of Brestwolk.'" The Dragon has been defeated, and we learn what the PC went gave up to win that victory. We already know that he's succeeded, we're just going to learn what it cost him. I think you could do that in a sim game too, though; the focus would be more on the journey, the world, the different stuff to see there, the ecology of the dragon's habitat, etc. More like a travelogue; and while theme may be present, it wouldn't be [i]the point[/i] of playing through that adventure. In the nar game, players gloss over all those facts unless they directly impact the theme. [/QUOTE]
