Message: <blockquote data-quote="TwoSix" data-source="post: 9084311" data-attributes="member: 205">My personal belief is that it's much more the former than the latter.  D&D evolved into storypath play from more gamist dungeon-crawling in the mid 80s, and the industry has remained there for the past 40 years.  If there was a groundswell of desire for that NOT to be the standard of play, I think it would have evolved by now.  Yes, there are plenty of games that have evolved into other types of play, but I think they would have higher rates of acceptance if there was actually some kind of disgruntlement with the current types of play.Plus, passive receiving of a pre-generated story is the norm in CRPGs, books, TV, and movies...I don't think it's a shock that most players walk into a TTRPG not expecting to have high amounts of authorship.</blockquote>
