Trollbabe-ish setup lacking drama
Callan S.:
Hi Paul,
Are you trying to accept everyone into the game, and trying to let them develop and grow their own approach? I thought you might be still developing what you want to get at yourself, but you identified David Bergs approach as one you like and articulated the steps of it really well (enough for another person, or atleast myself, to follow those steps too) - why aren't you just telling everyone that's what playing in the game involves (telling them when giving an invite to play)? Do you want to preserve some sort of thing where everyone finds their own way and aren't 'bossed' toward some approach? If so, is that really all that important? I mean, I'll grant David Berg may have found his method by just that means - he wasn't bossed around and somehow found that method you described. But is your game about discovering such techniques in a sort of genesis state, or applying techniques already discovered and getting on with playing it out/leaving the genesis state? Is it anything like what I'm asking about?
Paul T:
Callan,
That's an interesting observation, and it certainly applies to my GMing style. Perhaps I need to build clearer objectives or techniques into the game itself, both for the players and the GM. It's certainly worth thinking about, thanks.
Also, since I haven't received any feedback on my main question (two posts above), I wonder if I should begin a new thread. What do you think?
Best,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Those questions are a good topic for a new thread. Please remember to include a play account, however briefly summarized, which illustrates some of your concerns. Otherwise even the most careful description (without play) will yield bizarre and far-ranging interpretations which won't address your question.
Best, Ron
