[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 4332554, member: 3192"] So you keep trying to say. And I keep proving you wrong. The DM is describing the world as it enfolds before the players in character. How is that narration? There is no storytelling going on there. Narrations are told after the fact. I have no problem with Narration. I have a problem with people falsely redefining it and trying to stick it in RPGs. It's just not the case. Well, in that case the GM has probably written out with the weather is like for the coming weeks or months after having randomly generated it from the rules best fit to simulate the agreed upon world. (how's that for a run-on sentence?) In other scenarios, the GM does their best to cover the corner cases according to the world as it already stands. Again, this is not "narration" or "just making it up as we go along". That's bad DMing and the reason why RPGs were created was to stop such capricious behavior by GMs. They are judges and act according to the world as it stands, firm but fair. [/QUOTE]
