Hi Vincent-
Exactly- that's why I'm saying they're part of the medium- each medium is constrained by the elements of its presentation and how it gets structured. TV is structured by the screen, comic books by panels and pages, rpgs are structured according to speech and various rules we can come up with for playing with credibility(typing for irc games, acting for LARPS). As humans, we don't have any problem ignoring the constraints and still enjoying the content in other mediums- I don't see why it would have to happen in rpgs either.
