In short, tabletop roleplaying, which began as an outgrowth of wargaming, rapidly became, at least for some players, a form of rules-guided improvisational theater. And yet the rules of most games were inherently unsuited to this: they required extensive table look-ups, rote memorization of minor die-roll modifiers, etc., so that the action was often interrupted to look up and apply some minor rule, with a consequent break in both narrative and the spontaneity of the actors.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

My Life with Master<\/i> is a serious attempt to grapple with, and solve, the central conflict between story and game: that plots are inherently linear (that is, that any deviation from the plot is likely to produce a less compelling story) while games that do not provide players with the sense of freedom of action are inherently unsatisfying.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

Because of the simulationist origin of the tabletop RPG, the usual paradigm is to constrain a character’s action from moment to moment through a set of rules that simulate actions and their consequences. Thus, when you pick a lock, you roll dice (or apply some other system) to determine whether or not you succeed. However, the usual RPG provides no functional constraint on the evolution of the story; instead, the story is supposed to magically emerge from the decisions and actions of the player-characters, coupled with the gamemaster’s desperate improvisation. In other words, actions are rules-bound, the story is freeform.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
