[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 8235993, member: 6698278"] I know what you mean but in both games the PCs are contributing to the fiction in the sense they are changing the world. So here is an observation. One big facet of my style is character viewpoint and decision making. Roleplaying to me to becoming your character. You make decisions like you are that character. You seek knowledge from the world the same way I would seek knowledge in this world. We just want to play another role in a make believe world. But we want to play a role. We don't want to cooperatively write a story with someone else which is more what your style of play seems to be to me. I mean in both cases a story emerges and as memories go that can be enjoyable regardless. But the joy of the story for me was that I was that character and I overcome those challenges which were real challenges and triumphed. That means that sometimes when I play the game I die or don't triumph. It's necessary for there to be triumph on occasion as well. [/QUOTE]
