Role-playing isn't storytelling. If the dungeon master is directing it, it's not a game.

The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don't need any rules.

Of course as children, we all, in all cultures and societies, learn behavior from observation, imitation, and encouragement of various kinds. So by the suggestion made, we all 'pretend' most of the time.

Games give you a chance to excel, and if you're playing in good company you don't even mind if you lose because you had the enjoyment of the company during the course of the game.
