Loads of high resolution maps, fully fleshed out sites and fixed NPCs, and a node-based map detailing the interactions of all of the above.You sit down and by the middle of session 2 you’re certain that none of the above is true. You’re in full-throated No Myth Story Now play where everything is emerging via play, people/places/conflicts accreting around PC dramatic need and player + GM + resolution mechanic interaction.Degenerate play.Just like if you signed up for a Sci Fi game and the GM ports the PCs to Narnia. Bait-and-switch. Pea and Shell. The game lost the desired qualities that it once had (or at least alleged to have). Degenerate.</blockquote>
