[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 8226180, member: 42582"] Thank you for talking about [I]what you do with your notes as a GM, [/I]and explaining [I]how you link your pre-play writing to the stuff you do during play[/I]. Suppose that a player suggests a different gambling game. Suppose s/he even knows (or claims to know) more about the cultures you're drawing on then you do! Would your notes set a limit on the players implicit action declaration ([I]No, you can't find a game of X. The only game they're playing here is Y.[/I])? Or would you adapt or even depart from your notes? Do you use these NPCs simply to frame scenes? Or can they also be used to provide the content of action declarations? Do players get to know about them in advance and make them the objects of action declarations or other contributions to the fiction (eg [I]I want to meet up with so-and-so?[/I] or [I]Given that we've just come back from the Hills of the Moon, wouldn't so-and-so be wanting to looks us up to see what we learned?[/I])?
