[QUOTE="gban007, post: 9033617, member: 56488"] I could be wrong, but I feel like maybe that is Micha's point - most character sheets list the sort of stuff you expect the character to do, and with d&d I feel that is more than just combat related, it can have skills showing what character good at and not, spells etc - if PbtA games are listing stuff you don't want to do, then perhaps it shouldn't be on the character sheet, and instead something else? speaking from ignorance here, as haven't played any PbtA type games. I do find all this talk interesting though, and has helped me think about the way I DM games, and try to be a bit more on the 'Yes and' side (and typically I have been more like that in last few years than say 10 years ago), but it also reinforces that I don't think I'd want to run PbtA games, much like I don't like to run sandbox games anymore and fall back on published adventures in known settings, as takes a chunk of the load off that I don't have capacity for anymore - I just have to worry about how an adventure would react to what the characters do, rather than having to think up an adventure initially, and can fall back on the adventure in many places rather than having to come up with responses myself which it feels like PbtA requires - even if it does transfer some of that load to the players as well.
