I like this a lot. I had some thoughts, but as I was typing it out I found out that I was misinterpreting you. Still, I wanna thank you for this post since I’ve been thinking about some of these things on and off for years now, and more recently as I’ve been thinking about [the difference between story-games and more traditional games](https://discourse.rpgcauldron.com/t/the-differences-between-traditional-rpgs-and-story-telling-games/738/30).

On another note completely — and unrelated to any of the content of your blog — I really like your formatting with the little numbered headings. I love it. I rarely have time to read blogs, so having a way to know where I left off when changing trains or whatnot is really helpful.
