Do you play to win?

You play for loosing, dying a horrifying death and trying again countless times.

Player characters are:
Expected to work together; major conflicts might erupt and never see reconciliation

The GM’s role is:
The GM has no plan – the GM simply plays the NPCs and has them act or react based on their motivations

The players’ roles are…
... To fling their characters into tough situations and make hard, sometimes, unwise choices

Doing the smartest thing for your character’s survival…
…sometimes isn’t as important as other choices

The GM’s role to the rules is…
…ignore them when they conflict with what “should” happen, based either on realism, the setting, or the genre

After many sessions of play, during one session, a player decides to have her character side with an enemy. This is…
…something the player and the GM should have set up ahead of time.
…only going to last until the other player characters find out and do something about it.
… and a meaningful moment, powerful and an example of excellent play.

A fistfight breaks out in a bar! The details of where everything is – tables, chairs, where everyone is standing is something that…
…isn’t really that important other than it makes for an interesting scene- pretty much anyone can come up with details.

In order to really have fun with this game, the rulebook is something that…
…Only one person needs to really know the rules and it can be explained in 10 minutes or less to everyone else.

This game runs best when the players take time to create characters that are…
…written with extensive backstories or histories
…given strong motivations and an immediate problem or crisis
…tied into the other characters in various way
…written with some knowledge, research or reading up on the game setting, real history or an actual culture

Priests seeking to spread the light of Sigmar
Adventurers seeking the thrill of adventure or gold
Peope who have nowhere else to go
Skavens shunned by their peers

What kind of outcomes make sense for this game?
Everyone dying
Some people dying
Taking back Gölenheim, maybe.
