You want to know how I’d characterize other regional play styles? I’m not sure I really want to go too far down that path, honestly. Heck, there are non-Oly style groups in Olympia for heaven’s sake.

I believe Jason Morningstar​​ ‘s crew runs like we do here: very fast relative to a very ambiguously defined background-standard pace. Which I can’t define for you a) because it’s like trying to define the affectless flat non-accent of media anchors and b) literally anything I might say can and will be instantly contradicted by counterfactuals.

If I was forced by subpoena to define “fast,” I’d say our local games feel truncated on occasion, played with some urgency and verging on impatient. We rush toward plot beats and shy away from detailed set pieces. Make sense?
