Brian Gleichman asks me:
As I understand your style in gaming, you're
very much aiming for "this is what would happen".
It would seem that a possible result of
that is the occurance of NPCs instead of players
driving the action or at least major decisions. Am
I reading your style wrong on this point?
You are not reading it wrong.
However, there is some freedom in what events to allow to happen "off
stage", so to speak, and what events to focus on during actual play
sessions. I prefer for the play sessions to focus more on player
characters.
It's also true, as you suggest, that the player characters do tend to
seek out situations where they are their own bosses.
