[quote=@Theodorable] "[i]People come to this website and find this forum specifically because they are looking to write and create stories. If they wanted to just play a game they could go on Steam. Even tabletop [b]RPG[/b]s still focus on creating a narrative at their heart, even if you've got someone who just wants to kill everything and become all powerful, that's still a story they're telling about who that character is.[/i] I like this quote from you because it proves my point. The [b][u]action[/u][/b]--the character wanting to kill everything and become all power--BECOMES the narrative. [/quote] Actually Theo you are defeating your own point. You can't even argue rationally. Your argument is that Stats are superior to narrative. And yet... Honestly I can't keep typing with this level of stupidity. Yes the action becomes the narrative, because it is the narrative to start... Geez... What poor [@Mae] was trying to say is people come here to tell a story, not to pull up a spreadsheet and work out stats and numbers. If they want that they play Civ or games like that. Of course your brain can't seem to understand this point. Despite the fact multiple people tell you otherwise. Why don't you just run off to your little closed group NRPs before you scare other people from joining the genre?
