This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Voros;1018386Well, I was joking. But I was referring to the idea of allowing the players to describe something happening within the game world, essentially giving them some small ability to narrate the action of the game beyond 'I swing at them.'

Well you know, there's nothing wrong with that in any game as long as you don't let the narrative change the outcome beyond what is acceptable to what your group has established.

High-powered RPG's are ripe territory for this kind of stuff. It makes it more dramatic. In low-powered stuff it makes it more gritty. So the literal narrative aspects of describing these actions can feel a lot more gritty. It's like seasoning - you use it to flavor to taste.

Oh I know and agree. It certainly engages the players as well.
