Or do you? You mention right there that you challenge your imagination; that’s called competing with yourself & that’s the real thing that I do in RPGs, I compete with myself in that I try to elevate my game & put the pressure on my players to compete with themselves to. I grade everyone xp wise on a bar based on the skill they’ve shown. So for me that is really at the hard of competion always striving to do better than you’ve done before.

That would be great brother, I’d love to hear a vid response here. It would be nice to pick this issue apart. Could even be a series of vids from each of us. The reason I do these vids is to give advise to the new rpg players, try to pass something along to them & I think the two of us engaging in a detailed level of discussion on this topic could be highly valuable for new GMs trying to figure out which parts of these styles they’d like to include in their game.

cont…Another is the “competition”. I agree. Competition drives excellence in *most* cases, if handled responsibly. My group and I tend to engage in other types of activities when we want to express that deeper “competitive” nature. I don’t play RPGs to “compete”. I play RPGs to challenge my imagination, to share a story-telling experience and to walk away feeling like everyone enjoyed themselves.

Great comments. Thank you! Variety is the spice of life. That is one of the driving philosophies of my existence! As you say, there is no single style that will work for every group and every game. Knowing your players is the first and most crucial step to making any game work.
I’ll try to record a video to address many of the concepts you discuss here. One important note for my group is that all the players are friends and I’m invested in making sure that they feel their time is well-spent.
