[QUOTE="Kannik, post: 8474520, member: 984"] Ooooo, that's a nice inclusion/reminder for GMs to help break out of the (mostly unconscious) "all roads lead to CombatRome" style of play. Just remembering to, during adventure design, think and plan for 3 approaches for each situation will help to have the GM provide hints and clues that would make those other approaches visible to the players (and remind the players as well) as well as helping to prevent any unconscious nudging towards the intended/expected face-on conflict approach and style of play. It's also easy for GMs to (again, often unconsciously) get a bit nervous or stressed when the players are going for something unexpected, and even if the players in this case do something that isn't one of the three prepared approaches, that prep work makes it less unexpected and nudges the GM towards confident flexibility. Good stuff! I've just started to read through the book myself, looking forward to seeing what they’ve crafted! [/QUOTE]
