[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9125227, member: 6684958"] I think the problem is your casting to wide a net. You try to fit way too much under just one word. I call a burger with no cheese a Hamburger and a burger with cheese a Cheeseburger. But will insist that a hamburger can have cheese on it and still be called a hamburger. So, an Improv Game, by definition is all improv and no prep....it's kind of the point of "improv" after all. You say you have never seen a Pure Improv game, and ok, so you have not. But trust me such games do exist and it's even some peoples preferred way to game. Feel free to reject anything, does not matter to me. Again, note how you drag a named game into it? Easy Button is a play style: it can be used in any game Odd, was I not making a statement about how games were played? You can say whatever you and your players do, you will always call your game a casual game...and really that's fine for you. But when talking to the wider world you can't do that. See my posts above. Odd, if your not a Casual DM running a Casual game, as you say, why do you care? I guess you can call a Casual DM or game something else.....but Casual fits, so just use it. A Casual DM often does no prep and shows up with nothing, wearing dollar store sunglasses and their "Backstreets Back, Alright" hat backwards and say "Woah Bros, I am so ready to play some RPG game!" If you say so.....but wait, you can't say so. Right? I can't say that I'm shocked that your not shocked. [/QUOTE]
