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.

RPGs are ... Role Playing Games

Quote from: The Butcher;380335I think that's the gist of what Emboldened Navigator was saying. The "traditionalist" label is a literary one, in that the "Story Now" cultists are actually advocating a very traditional narrative structure, as opposed to modernist and postmodernist writers (who did not necessarily adhere to any given model of narrative structure, and often wrote with no clear rhyme or reason).
Except that RPGs are not literature... ;)
