It was with some interest that I read Sydney Rounwoods post “Being There” it seemed particularly poignant in light of recent events in my own gaming world, sometimes a game is just simply going through the motions for some of us and we need more. An objective with a back story, nothing complicated, can make all the difference as to whether your invested in a game or just rolling dice, that is not to say that some people are happy rolling dice but I prefer to at least have a reason other than rules require you to toss little polygons of plastic about. I shan’t bore you with my silly ramblings but rather point you to Mr Roundwoods post and let you decide.
