That's one gripe I've had with most game theory... it's all floaty 
high-level stuff that doesn't actually help me *play*.  You know, with the 
bad acting and stuff.  I want some theory that's practical, down at the 
actually roleplaying stuff level.  If that makes sense.  I mean, when they 
*do* start messing with roleplaying stuff, it's usually "And we just 
realized that this 'roleplaying' thing interferes with 'story,' so quit 
it!"  Uh... no, I *like* that part, I want them to work *together*, 
helloooo...
