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.

[GNS] Why are you doing it wrong ? ? ?

I read the forge.com theories about gaming, how it evolved from the shallow depths of early D&D demon dung - digging and senseless orc bashing (GAMISM) over the gurpsian statistification of the physical world emerging from these humble beginnings (SIMULATION) all the way to the current state-of-the-art, NARRATIVISM; where players actually tell STORIES, not just roll dice and dream-wank about being like Conan. Happily I went at creating my own design to improve my playing to current levels. Sadly, it wasn´t well recieved at the forge.com. Mean words were said, some even said it broke their hearts. ? ? :confused::confused::confused:

But it was not build to last! My way and the Edwardian way parted amicably (more or less) at last. I went to this place to further improve my game, but was shocked about the current state of discussion. It seems you are not up to current standards of design around here? Nowhere am I reading a thorough discussion about GNS, SIS, CR-TR, EXPLORATION, DRIFT, vanilla-pervy, fMRI, IIEE, FitM, DFK, ... as the introduction of any design idea ...
How comes you, clearly well-spoken, thoughtfull people, reject the current scientific standards of RPGing? Why are you stuck in the "dark ages", so to speak, of gaming?
I am seriously concerned about you. You seem in grave danger of suffering actual "brain damage" (this was discovered by an actual biologist!). :banghead:
I guess you still think of "Game Masters" and attributes+skills as being the standard? But surely there must be a reason for this madness. Explain yourself to me! Why don´t you accept NARRATIVISM as the status quo? How will you ever achieve COHERENCE without?

After these questions are answered, I will unveil my RPG to you, humbly asking for advice.

Nice troll.

Since it's not about game design, this should be in Off Topic.

Dude. I totally get you. You're like an Aspie meditating on the I-Ching. Trust me, this is the answer (even to those questions you didn't ask):

You can also come up with something that is not only original and creative and artistic, but also maybe even decent, or moral if I can use words like that, or something that\'s like basically good -Lester Bangs

Would you say Jenga is the answer to my questions? But I don´t know if it fits my game as well as it seems to fit Dread.

Everybody else, please stop trolling. :mad:Maybe the fact that english isn´t my first language is giving you a wrong impression of my true intentions.

So you often get accused of trolling? Well think about that for a while! Maybe it´s true!

But please stop the distractions now, I refer you to the matter at hand.

A) You posted to the Forge as 'Shallow Mind' and your theory was computer game based.

B) You didn't get bad feedback there.

C) Why shouldn't this be off-topic?
