BUT... when I am with 'the kitchen crew' and we are all cooking - I am having soooooo much fun!  Sure, I stocked the fridge with the game system, and I prepped the ingredients with a plot of sorts.  But they RUN with it, they  MAKE it into something special and I am just playing, at most, head chef, keeping ideas flowing, keeping burners on, pots full of pressure and so on. I think the food analogy of [USER=467]@Reynard[/USER]   works, but it works better if we are all the kitchen (and if we are making a podcast, then the viewers are the  customers eating our food).I like game where a bunch of the night the players or the dice added net-new ideas to the game, and added plots where none were before.  I am not talking about that one oddball player who always wants to run off and do side stuff, I mean genuine "oh, I thought we were gonna just bargain for better domains, but now we are plotting to overthrow the Prince now, and you are making bargains that are really dangerous but...ok let's see where this goes!"</blockquote>
