[Friendly Debate] Point of View

[Ashe]

Belle: I stated the obvious intentionally to make sure it was passed over when describing my overall point.

Carter: I don't think he intends it to be condescending at all. I think he's basically pointing out similar points as I made, in that (commonly, though with obvious exceptions) the goals between the two mediums differ. One uses the character as the anchor and tells a story about the character. Novels do this too, in a lot of cases, but they are far less bound to it than a Play by Post RPG is. Novels tend to broaden the concept to telling a larger scale story (in a decent number of examples, anyway. I can easily point at just as many examples of the contrary) where we can't do that as often unless we get it approved on saga level.
