Story gaming is inherently more valuable because simple dungeoncrawling is easily handled with video games now, while truly emergent and changing stories/games are only really possible in something collaborative and make believe like tabletop.

They're the same thing, but faux-grogs and brOSR faggots want to pretend like the outcomes and spontaneous interactions that happen in their game, weaving together to tell a larger story that develops over many sessions is somehow different when they do it. The outcomes and spontaneous interactions that happen in storyshitter games, that weave together to tell a larger story that develops over many sessions aren't of the same purity and quality, obviously.
A story that emerges during a dungeon crawl is not any more special or proper than a story that emerges from a bunch of quirky faggots doing the same thing.

If you want to tell a story go write a book. Funny and entertaining shit will naturally arise from dungeon crawling.

If you want to crawl a dungeon go outside. Funny and entertaining shit will naturally arise from story telling.

>Where do you land on this debate?
The storyshitting that's generated organically within the dungeon crawling will always be best.
In other words this exact post: >>95967920 set up all the pieces and the players will figure it out themselves.

The world is the 'dungeon'. Points of interest are the 'rooms'. Roads, paths, rivers are the 'corridors'. In a city replace with streets and buildings. NPCs are presented, with varying personas and agendas. If players find them interesting enough to engage with the storyshit emerges. If they get killed on the spot then move on. If players storyshit between each other I get a coffee break and occasionally a free plot hook.
There is, on the background some overarching goal to give the characters a rough direction to work towards. Players can go at it fast, catching the opposition unprepared, or take their time and power themselves up with xp, items and allies.
