[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 8265842, member: 6698278"] I wouldn't say the flashback mechanic is the sole reason Blades would not be a game I'd want to play in a big campaign. It's just one of many all based upon a common premise. When the player's time sequence differs from the character's that is bad in my approach to the game. I am trying to be in my characters shoes, seeing through my characters eyes, and being my character. Experience time like my character does. That to me is character immersion. I do find the following to be my experience on these and other boards. me: I don't like game Z because I can't achieve X others: Oh I achieve X all the time. (Then proceeds to redefine X to not mean X as I've used it for 30 years.) It can be frustrating because the terms keep moving under your feet and you can't really even have a conversation because whatever term you use someone will quickly redefine it. The only other place I've seen this commonly is in theological discussions and I'm starting to wonder if there isn't a connection there. [/QUOTE]
