[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 8243892, member: 42582"] I personally find it impossible to talk about [I]where the fiction comes from[/I] without talking about [I]who creates it[/I]. And the most straightforward word in English to describe the creation of fiction is [I]authorship[/I]. I frequently co-author work. This involves a lot of interaction and conversation. That doesn't mean that the work is spontaneously generating itself, though. It is being authored. I didn't say anything about what is important in "your style". I talked about an assumption that I see emerging in the thread. That's all. The dice can be very important in some RPGing, less so in others. In Burning Wheel, the result of a dice roll associated with an action declaration and resolution process may be very important in determining whether or not a secret door is found. In [USER=6698278]@Emerikol[/USER]'s game, not so much - the most important consideration is whether or not the GM has decided a secret door is present in the location in question. If you want to post something about the role of action resolution via dice rolls in establishing the fiction in your play, that would be a very welcome post. [/QUOTE]
