As a player, I want to play som...Interesting point.<br />As a player, I want to play something that will be fun; "fitting in" to the setting is nice but an afterthought.<br /><br />I do get James Mal's desire for his setting to be memorable, distinctive, etc., and as DM I want my game world to be more than a blank canvas ... but not a character. My NPCs exist to be killed, defrauded, exploited, etc. by the PCs. My dungeons and locales exist to be looted and hopefully kill some PCs or at least their henchmen. <br /><br />I don't think I'd go so far as to plan NO SETTING and just riff on whatever my players make up as characters ... but my setting has to be interesting enough to me to motivate me to make stuff up for it and for the players to want to go there. I can't say I want to be "main character" ... IF that is what Mal is saying about "main focus".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
