In a gaming group, well... it's the Hard Question in Ron's essay on narrativism, isn't it? Are you performing an art? If so, how far are you willing to go for your art? You can't convince anyone else to like it, or even understand what you're doing.
What I do is try - and try again, and again - to start games I like with people I want to play with. Sometimes they don't want to play those games, sometimes they don't want to play with me. The other thing I do is to say no to games I know I won't really be enjoying. Sometimes you just have to wait for a long time for something right to happen - and it's not going to help if you do the wrong thing while you're waiting.
