[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 7394850, member: 6698278"] I agree 100%. This is a style and I'm glad it has a name. I personally don't enjoy it but it really is what pemerton should be seeking based on his discussion. I jokingly called it the Iserith method because Iserith over on the D&D boards long ago was the greatest champion of that style of play. I would like to interject here though that unless you are up front about it most people are not thinking No Myth when they think "roleplaying". I've tended to use classical roleplaying for my style only because it seems it was Gygax's style early on. Even if not I think it was the dominant early style. Perhaps I can come up with a list of game styles... 1. No Myth Story Now - Nothing is known that isn't stated in game. Crafting an epic story is a side effect of play and intentional. 2. Classical - Deep pre-designed world, DM is ultimate authority, Adventures as a contest of skill, Death happens sometimes because of bad luck. Very little metagaming. Character only focus. Sandboxes. 3. Modern - Make death harder, Fail forward, Metagame mechanics, Adventure paths. Maybe I'm being a bit hard on modern gaming. Perhaps you can elaborate. [/QUOTE]
