Catherine Ramen Yes, I agree: in that game, your bravura made the game come together in a way that I wasn’t going to be able to do as GM, affording the other players an opportunity to make revelatory and interesting character choices. Compare that with your George Stoker in the Stoker: First Blood NBA game I also ran for you: with the Irish accent and Victorian mad scientist mores, it was totally fun to watch, a marvelous act of role-playing: but self-contained, almost hermetic ;-), in the sense that experimenting in your room with the vampire head didn’t give other players a lot to bounce off.
