[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 8235909, member: 42582"] Yes. Who is disagreeing with this? But that difference is pretty fundamental, given that (i) it is a difference in who creates the shared fiction, and (ii) most RPGing has creation of and participation in a shared fiction as a core component. "That style of play" - ie what [USER=85870]@innerdude[/USER] is describing, which is a contribution to the discussion about protagonism and the role of the GM's notes - is entirely about [I]everyone [/I]rather than [I]just the GM[/I] establishing the fiction. There are all sorts of ways of doing this, and I just described one in my post - trying to elaborate on what [USER=85870]@innerdude[/USER] had described in his posts. Other ways include questions from GM to player (eg "He seems angry at you. What did you do last time you were here that p*ssed him off?"); or player contributions in PC building (eg "My bond is to my mother who still lives on our ancestral estate"); or, etc. Saying "that's pretty much it" seems not to be taking seriously what is a fundamental point of difference in approaches to RPGing.
