I think it was Neel Krishnaswami who said to me one day something like "Well, isn't that one of the big differences between an RPG and other types of games? That in an RPG the fiction is part of the rules?"
And really, as I've been talking about with some folks recently, the more a game doesn't lead with the fiction the more I think of it as a boardgame.
(Note this does not mean "bad" it means "I like to have words for things that do different things.")
