Changes

The role of players is to make things happen by using GMs prepare the story, introduce the setpieces, Non-Player Characters (NPCs) and circumstances placed and crafted by the Game Master. The GM prepares a storyideally, and plan for multiple possible outcomes, depending on how the players, go through them. Players make things happen by using their characterswits, their Player Characters (PCs)' speech skills, equipment, abilities, and actionstheir decisions, which they then play through that story, out in character; just like how actors playing their characters make things happen in a movie or a TV show. However, the difference between a movie and the events of a RPG, are that players retain control of their characters and are the ones to make things happen. Sometimes, according to the GM's plans, and sometimes, despite them.

The role of the game's rules and mechanics is to help with conflict resolution and problem resolutionsolving, to introduce elements of chance, randomness and uncertainty, and to determine the outcome of the story, action by action. Will your character aim her [[MP5A3]] at the chest of the bad guy, knowing he has body armor, or will she risk a shot to the head in an attempt to bring him down faster, knowing she might miss? Will this rag work on your wound or will you need to scrape by for a real bandage? Do you have enough supplies to last you until the next town, or is death around the corner?
