items (why do Broos have no blacksmiths yet always have full sets of =
plate armour) there must be an OVERALL consistency and sustainability to =
the world that the players can understand.  Small pockets of un-logic =
can (and should) exist.

Occasionally every GM must have failed to fully paint some aspect of the =
background story and get the question, "I do not understand the options =
in this situation but I feel that my character would have such =
knowledge.  Please explain my character's thoughts on this issue.".  To =
get this question all the time, before every action simply removes the =
RP from RPG.=20

The only exception to all the above is the dungeon hack, where the =
gameplay does not relate to the world in any way ,and where no rational =
is required as to why Trolls, Kobolds, and Green Slime all live in =
adjoining rooms with no visible means of support.   There was a time =
when I quite enjoyed that type of game and so I will not criticise those =
who wish to play it.=20
