 This is a problem where a complicated story attempts to be told through a medium that simply can't accommodate that kind of story for one reason or another. For example: [[lb:Warcraft]] telling a story while forced to include the player characters as actual characters in the story (which they have been bad at) or the [[lb:wod]] dealing with inter-game crossovers and, again, keeping the player characters important...or just allowing some wiggle room for characters. This is a problem where a complicated story attempts to be told through a medium that simply can't accommodate that kind of story for one reason or another.

 1d6chan includes a page about this sort of thing called [[1d6>Your_Dudes|Your Dudes]], but I think it misses the fact that the <q :en>lack of an advancing story-line</q> is kinda...yeah, it fits into the problem basically. If it //is// about ‘your dudes’ then there wouldn't be a story/meta-plot at all, à la CoD/Curseborne. For that reason, Onyx Path may be slightly more intelligent than Games Workshop. 1d6chan includes a page about this sort of thing called [[1d6>Your_Dudes|Your Dudes]], but I think it misses the fact that the <q :en>lack of an advancing story-line</q> is kinda...yeah, it fits into the problem basically.
