I *think* I prefer nar. play, but my standards of narrative get violated by obvious silliness and unrealism. Plausibility, as you say later. I like it. I'm happy to accept "well it must have been magic then" for Xena-like acrobatics, but not that such things can happen without magic when I know perfectly well that they can't.

No, don't apologize, it's all been interesting even when I'm unlikely to use it. Being introduced things that I might like if I tried them works as much for gaming as it does for pizza :)
