Vincent, if forming a clear connection isn't about giving players extra certainty on odds and outcomes, and it isn't about ensuring that every outcome is fun/interesting/relevant, then what is it about?
As a player, if I'm gonna roll a die with unknown odds and then have the GM pick from a list that includes "nothing happens", I'd just as soon let the GM wing it.
I feel like I must be misreading your last post. Can you help me out here?
Is Delve "freeform"?
I have negative associations with the term, and have seen its definition vary wildly. All I can say is that, if Delve (a) communicates what to do, (b) inspires people to do it, and (c) provides a reliable play experience of the type I'm going for, then I'll consider it a success. I can't think of a way not to call creating (c) game design, though.
