fantasy style role-plays and why I dislike them

[Akirapryde]

I do not want to be maneuvered in to a position where we are talking solely about HoH, or how Andre runs his game. Because that is not what I am talking about here. Yes I have drawn in a few examples from it. But the bulk of where I am coming from actually comes from the conversation after the game, not the events within it.

I too enjoy how Andre runs his game. Do I want to see a change? No not really.

As for SW-NH, the reason why I created the online support is because I tend to run large complex groups. It would be impossible to get to ever scene. The nature of the two groups are very different. However as you have mentioned, in SW-NH I have allowed players to run off on whatever rabbit hole they want. There were a number of major plot events that the party missed because they simply didn't care or where no there.
