[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 8237037, member: 6698278"] If you read the whole post, I very much say this is my perspective and it does not have to be anyone else's. I make the case for why I believe as I do. You can have fun playing a game that I don't using an approach that I don't. That is the beauty of options. I will be right there fighting beside you if anyone wanted to ban anything or even drive it out of the public square. I may not agree with your opinion but I will defend your right to make it. If you are having fun, how could I possible deny your experience. Yet you continue to deny my own. For me absolutely a game where players author fiction is not one I'd find very immersive. Do I really need to put "for me" everywhere? I do put it out there a good bit. The example above is an attempt to explain my perspective. And you will note the - in my opinion at the end. An attribution that should be unnecessary since everything we write is our opinion. And I am not unaware of the approach. It's not just some word I've heard of but have no inkling how it works. I've heard plenty of descriptions. I've definitely played in campaigns, briefly, where DMs didn't do much prep and tried to wing it. They failed to wing it effectively even when they were the only one doing the winging. Adding four more people to the equation just increases the likelihood of it failing. Again in my opinion.
