You don't have to accuse every person who doesn't agree with you of being arrogant, believe it or not there are plenty of reasonable people who won't agree with you.I mean, I've GMed and played, since roughly 2008, that's about 750 weeks, easily somewhere between 500 and 1000 sessions, likely considerably more, of which 95% I would call 'narrativist play', and yet never once, in even one scene encountered an issue of the sort that you seem concerned about. It just isn't a factor in actual real-world play of this type. Not at all! I mean, I'm sure if I put together a table full of hostile players who WANT to play in bad faith, yes they can try to abuse their agency in play, but short of that, it doesn't happen.Nor have I ever seen players so lazy and uninterested in actual role play that they will fail to engage with narrativist play. Now, I certainly believe a few of those exist, they're probably also bricks in every other sort of game. I just happen to filter my list of potential players in a way to avoid them. In some venues you're undoubtedly getting one or even two at any table, but a game like Agon or DW is at least as good a way to get to them as plain old bog-standard D&D.</blockquote>
