[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 7387857, member: 23751"] I can't think inside or outside of something that doesn't exist. I didn't say you couldn't create goals for them that match what happened on the journey. I said that the only goals given are the two I mentioned. Every last "goal" you mentioned as an example of Story Now, also works as stuff the DM pre-authored as interesting things for the the players and PCs to encounter along the way. You have to invent goals that are not present in the books in order to make the LotR into Story Now, I just have to point to the books and say see it matches my style of play. I don't have to make up a single thing. You can't really write a book based on Story Now, that's for certain. With my style of play, though, there is certainly enough to establish an entire plot, journey, and culmination of the goal to write a book around it. I've read novels that play out like an adventure. Plenty of them. [/QUOTE]
