A while back, I was trying to explain the difference between conflict games and interaction games. Lisa and I play(ed) a lot of the latter, which are not at all about conflicts and big decisions and consequences but about the interactions between characters, exploring their emlotional states, writing (as we do this mostly via chat) about their interplay with sensual details and just trying to Be There with those characters. Several hours of play time often pass without major changes or choices.
Not surprisingly, we both love the books (moreso than the series, which loses a lot of the emotional detail and introspection in the transition).
