    It's one of the things that appeals to me about 13th Age, the 'being attached to the setting' element of chargen. Sadly, our game didn't get very far before RL wrecked it (Scheduling has, once again, a DC of about 35).
    Empire of the Petal Throne (the first game I DM'd for an extended period) was similarly tied to its setting.
    My players loved that aspect of it.

    a. Malifice (paraphrased):
    Rulings are not 'House Rules.' Rulings are a DM doing what DMs are supposed to do.
    b. greenstone (paraphrased):
    Agency means that they {players} control their character's actions; you control the world's reactions to the character's actions.
    Gosh, 2D8HP, you are so very correct!
