A Random Game Design Question:
Are there many campaign narratives that are about achieving a positive outcome, rather than avoiding or alleviating a negative one? I'm thinking particularly about games where the player acts as a single character.
Sports games tend to do this, but in action RPGs we always seem to be preventing an apocalypse or rescuing a puppy.
