[QUOTE="Fenris-77, post: 8234152, member: 6993955"] Monopoly most certainly does not. :D I was using [I]conversation[/I] there in the way, say, Vincent Baker does in discussing "what is an RPG" at the beginning of Apocalypse World. Action - adjudication - consequence. Even if I weren't tired of facetious arguments about Monopoly or the like being an RPG, it's quite obviously missing the middle bit, so let's not go there. Nor does it have what would commonly be described as a game world. Anyway, These are all things you already know. I guess the friendly question is what exactly are you trying to prove here? You definition of protagonist above seems limited to a single character, which I find at odds with the normal usage of the word, which can usaully apply to more than one character in a single text. Perhaps there's something I'm missing about your specific usage though. Additionally, my short definition of protagonism would be the state, character or activity of a protagonist. One, is that the definition you're using, and two, what are the stakes of using that instead of just talking about protagonists? [/QUOTE]
