Kimmy, this conversation is going off thread.  PM follows.<br/><br/>As per request, here was the PM I sent...<br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I hope this is more helpful.  I did not intend to leave you feeling frustrated and bereft of inspiration, but at the moment the entire conversation has been infuriatingly circular: you ask me what the game is about, I ask you what you want the game to be about, you say that I'm not telling you what the game is about...the vultures from Jungle Book rather come to mind!   :-)<br/><br/>You want to know what I'm like as a GM and a player?  Fair enough. It's also a very broad question, and not easy to answer.  I prefer things playful, lighthearted, fun, and open.  I prefer an evocative setting to a comprehensive one.  I like worlds where there are gaps to permit a little creative addition after the fact, to be worked out in play.  I'm a romantic at heart who prefers happy endings to sad ones, but doesn't mind a good tragedy if it's obvious that such an end is the goal.  (Feel free to ask Muse about me--he's worked with me a lot and puts up with me amazingly well.)  Fair warning--I have what my wife calls an artistic temperament and am prone to despair and frustration when things that should work smoothly fail to do so.  As you have probably noted.<br/><br/>Now, what I have in mind for this game, assuming it does not hit the shoals of discord, is this: entertainment.  It's supposed to be fun.  Silly.  Generally fantasy-epic shaped, but not necessarily a set piece dungeon crawling exercise in the application of force.  I refer you to the source material (Slayers more than Dragon Half, because there's more of it).  A bunch of zany, interesting characters are going to get together and do stuff, and we're playing to find out what happens next.  (I can't tell you what's going to happen next because I don't know the answers--this is by design.  It's how the game engine is meant to work.)<br/><br/>I hope this helps.<br/><br/>MP</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
