I had the same kinda problem introducing MSM to my fantasy world back when we were dating. I preferred Freeform to Dnd and used to play dnd to find good freeform partners, so i had introduced my style of Freeform and this particular fantasy world several times before. So Mike is listening to the description of the country and he stops to tell me that the river can't flow in the direction I just said. The direction of the rivers flow was just incidental back drop for me but it was very important to him. He pointed out where i had described the mountains and the sea and the river had to be flowing (south I think) and I was stunned. Two moons, shapeshifting dragons, time traveling fairies didn't phase him but the river flow was vital. Since river flow is just back drop I should have just let it go, but I felt suddenly threatened. It was weird. We argued over imaginary landscaping which made me miserable- 'cause I just wanted to play. I couldn't understand it because I had had several partners by then, and no one else had reacted that way. |
