[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 9343491, member: 6795602"] Right! I’m suggesting the specific act of collaborating by brainstorming ideas for consequences of a move goes beyond the basic collaboration needed to simply play an rpg. I agree. I think we disagree on where that line is but that’s okay. I think what we can agree on is that all RPGs are collaborative (the improv game aspect certainly is). I think we can also agree that some RPGs place meta conversation style collaboration over certain elements that others do not. And also the frequency this comes up is important. And really it’s these ideas moreso than the semantics of the phrase writers room that really matter. its not clear to me why you suggest mere chance negates writers room. If the writers in the room came up with versions and then flipped a coin for which to go with, I wouldn’t consider that any less of a writers room. [/QUOTE]
