Likewise, at the time of the Berkman arguments and Threefold debates,
I would have considered my style mainly a mix of gamism and
simulationism. My last campaign, however, jinked firmly towards the
dramatist corner to my satisfaction and those of my players.
Do I need the Threefold model to account for that? No. However I
will credit the Threefold and associated debates to really opening my
mind to think about the decision-making process. Without that, I would
never have thought to run a campaign in a style that I had never before
personally encountered. And the Threefold model (or Fourfold) still has
a large impact on how I think about such things.
