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: estar;966043Hell I ran into these when my group used Whimsy Cards back in the early 90s. The last session was known as the Whimsy War and afterwards we agreed to put them away and never use them again. It a problem caused anytime you add metagaming to a campaign.

That hasn't been my experience in running games with different levels and styles of metagaming involved. I think in my case its the level of abstraction is too high (or too low as enjoy games like Fiasco and Slasher Flick which are more abstract) for me. But MHRP does model many aspects of the medium well. I suspect Fate does its job but does it in a way I can't seem to get into.
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Democracy, meh? (538)

 "The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn't even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it."
