7/31/2006 Levi Kornelsen: Frostfolk and GNS aggravation.
(Please note: I'm hoping to use this thread as the opening point of a discussion, rather than as a straight report).
---
Of late, I've taken a lot of time away from the GM chair (with the exception of running a few playtests) in order to just play in games.
Currently, my lady is running a game, using one of…

10/1/2006 Settembrini: [Rifts] GNS my session
From this thread:
I never fully grokked the three Creative Agendas, therefore I renounced them to be of any practical value, and I personally think they don't cover what I get out of the hobby.
I realize, that this is not the place to argue about that.
I also realize, that only actual play can be categorized into the CAs,…

12/22/2007 masqueradeball: Beating a Dead Horse?
Okay, so all in all I'm still new to this GNS thing... though I've been reading as much as I can and trying to understand the language, but I want to bring up something...
One day, my older brother Logan proposed we start a game of Hunter: The Reckoning. I made a character, a thirty something soccer mom who immigrated…

When: I'll use a game I played around march of this year.

7/6/2009 Nexus6: Addition to GNS Model
Hi, this is my first post to the Forge forums.
I'm a relative role-playing neophyte, but am vastly interested in the theory of it and the like. While reading through the articles on GNS theory, I was surprised to not recognize myself in any of the three reasons for role-playing. Some Simulationist ideas are close, but the reason I role-play…

9/5/2009 Simon_Pettersson: [UA] I think I grasp Creative Agendas now!
This game happened some time ago, but I'd like to get some theoretical input on what it's led to. Here's the thing:
I've been reading a lot of Big Model stuff for quite a long time, and I've had many, many misconceptions of what a CA really is. Several times I thought I had a grasp of it and then…
