All the talk these days is of “hard choices” and “playing like you mean it” and “risking what’s important” to the PC. “Narrativism” is now not addressing premise or creating theme but “passionate characters having their passions tested” (warning: thread tragically truncated currently) and “If you want to hold your character as she is, don’t play her.” A lot of the reported play sounds like good fun. But the talk about it sounds very locker room sometimes. Are “hard choices” the new angst?
