Hmmm, I guess I can clarify what I meant.  My impression of WW-style 
gaming is that it gives emphasis to what the character is feeling 
rather than to what the character is doing.  This view is doubtless
based mainly on V:tM.

The best illustration I can offer is Star Trek vs. ST:TNG.  On Star
Trek, characters did things: phasered a city, fought space battles,
loved, lost, explored, etc.  On the few episodes of ST:TNG I saw, 
most of what they did was talk, talk, talk: how they felt about a
course of action, each other, etc. etc. etc. :-)

Feelings are important, but saving the world is too. :-)

All just IMO,

Steve
