[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8245581, member: 85555"] I am not so sure you have to choose between the two. But in terms of focus let’s say mine is split and the PCs get your undivided attention. My guess, and maybe I am wrong, is you are going to be more okay with the model of the larger world not being as important, maybe even falling by the wayside because your focus is the characters and their perspective. I don’t see anything wrong with that. That is my approach to running a lot of horror adventures (I may have ‘living’ elements I. Terms of nice they are specifically dealing with but my focus isn’t on modeling a larger world. But I see my approach as complimentary to dealing with the personal. After all people live there lives inside all kinds of daily structures. Maybe you go to church, go to a university, participate in a hobby like gaming. That stuff puts characters into a clearer context (if I know a given box is part of Tree Dwelling Nuns, that helps inform my sense of the cfaracters motivations and limitations (I know for example that whatever this character offers to the PCs at this moment, he will need to justify to the abbess (and that she has to weigh how this impacts their alliances and conflicts: plus the sect has a whole belief system that would influence the Npcs behavior) [/QUOTE]
