Okay, I feel pretty good about that. More on Creative Agenda...
There seems to be an idea that you can only really have one Creative Agenda at a time. Is that correct? Does it follow from the definition? Or is it just too schizo to do more than one at a time?
Because when I think about what I do in a game like Vampire the Noun, it seems like some times I'm trying to come up with good practical solutions to problems in the game, and sometimes I'm making a point about some issue, and sometimes I'm just vicariously enjoying playing a badass. Am I wrong that this means I'm shifting between Creative Agendas as I play? Is there something dysfunctional about this?
(Part of the reason I'm interested in this issue is because different players in my gaming circle seem to have different agendas. I'd like to be able to accomodate as many of them as possible, but conventional wisdom seems to hold that I can't.)
