[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8241003, member: 6785785"] The only reasons that seem reasonable to me have already been mentioned. You proppsed the idea of game face....that this kind of exercise can keep a GM in game ready form. [USER=7016699]@prabe[/USER] mentions what I would have...that you have a different idea in mind than what you originally thought or what’s in the text. For some, this may just be something that they enjoy in between sessions. So although there may be reasons, I would argue that none of them are really about portraying a living world. i suppose an argument could be made for the game face helping the GM do so, but then it’s a kind of indirect impact. They all seem to serve some other purpose. And what I find very odd is that when I’ve gotten into discussions about this, many folks who say that you should do it seem to also talk about agency and living world and that kind of stuff.
