Totally! You totally got my point and explained it beautifully!

Thanks.

This just occured to me, and I wanted to share it:

Talking about theory is the same about talking about such things as the Law of Gravity: it was always there, but until it hit Newton (nice joke, there;)), no one was talking about it.

Or Defensive Driving: one can always respect the distance between cars, drive safely, and not know about Defensive Driving, yet still to it, and better than most.

I like this train of thought.

Elora says that, when talking about role-play, one either recounts a character’s fabulous feats, or retells a part of the story. Everything else is theory, by any other name.
I guess we just have to agree to disagree on that, my friend.

Rui, I know, it happens to me all the time! Bit by bit, person by person, we’re “spreading the word”, though, just so we can talk to people and understand what they’re saying! It’s cool.

Cheers,
J.

About the dictionary: I got that this very day while talking about my choice of questions for playing my next campaign of CoC; it really seemed like we where talking two different languages!
