[QUOTE="kenada, post: 8679112, member: 70468"] I would call that player dysfunctional only in the sense he was in a group that wanted to play differently than how he did. But a whole group like that? It seems like it would be perfectly functionality even if what they are likely to be doing is nothing like how I’d want to play the game. Does it have to be good play? We had one session of Scum and Villainy where the GM ran us through prep before a mission. Because the facts of what happened were locked in place, there were no good places to use flashbacks. The result was a boring session in spite of a cool premise (terraforming a planet to commit insurance fraud). I’d expect map and key play would go about as well. I actually meant the GM would need permission from the player to kill their PC in an encounter. That’s not how I’d want to do things, but it’s something I’ve seen expressed by those who have a preference for what that Six Cultures essay would call OC/neo-trad. [/QUOTE]
