What is "railroading" to you (as a player)?

I'm not the one calling their understanding of someone else's preferences perverse.

I don’t think that’s quite what was said… but either way, you’re judging other playstyles just as much as anyone else is.

I present my opinion as subjective. What you're suggesting is that I should post about what I think, whether I present it as opinion or not.

What you’re saying is that it’s not a problem for your game or any game you’ve ever seen… but that it’s a problem. So who’s it a problem for? The people who are telling you it’s not a problem for them?

My point is that you say that all you’re doing is stating your preference. But that’s not all you’re doing. You’re criticizing the preferences of others.

So please… stop hiding behind “I’m just stating my preferences”. No one else in the thread is doing anything that you’re not.

It's not that uncommon. From personal experience, it was way more common in V:tM circles than in D&D. And not in "supers with fangs" VtM games, more in Anne Rice heavy inspired games. I've played sessions like that, where all convos where in character, first person. Those were games where we would have multiple sessions without ever touching dices. But beside me, everyone else in that group also loved Mind's Eye Theater and was very into Vampire LARP.

Yea, I have run a V;tM game. I have run another campaign of Vampire for eighteen players (fun, but ugh! and never again). It still didn't run that way. But to each their own. I would love to see video of a session that does this (as I have never seen one in play).
