[QUOTE="Guest 6801328, post: 7453720"] I think you mean (at least I hope you mean) in [I]your[/I] roleplaying games. Because apparently a lot of people here do allow players to contribute to the narrative beyond their own character. Do you think they/we are all playing wrong? I love it when players contribute to the narrative. It works especially well for roll-then-narrate. Example (a real one, by the way): Player: "I'll try to start a conversation with the woman you mentioned, and see if I can get any information from her about the Elf..." DM: "Make a Persuasion check." Player: "Oh, man, I rolled a 1! So I guess I tried to be a little bit flirtatious, and didn't realize until it was too late that in some cultures that kind of scarf is a sign of a recent widow still in formal mourning, so, uh, yeah....that didn't go over very well. Does somebody else with more tact want to try?" Would you be ok with that? Or is the player overstepping by just making up all of that...the scarf, it's meaning, etc. [/QUOTE]
