[QUOTE="Dlsharrock, post: 4260736, member: 55833"] Well quite :) Thanks for the first post. It's given me a great deal of food for thought. Notably, I made fewer parallels between Story and fiction as Story and real life. Real life, like RPG, is about interpretation and decision-making. But anticipation, the belief in likely future events, is more ambiguous in real life. Ironically, I think anticipation holds more opportunity in real life than RPG where realisation of the outcome you anticipate depends upon the skills or intentions of the DM. I think real life is more *reliable*, though that does depend on your... what?... spiritual outlook? Hence the maxim: life's what you make it, and so on. Just an observation. Interesting stuff.
