When all you care about is the goal, that's gamism.</p> <p>Narrativist - refers to elements that serve a dramatic theme or story. When you are doing things that are interesting or meaningful, that's narrativism.</p> <p>Simulationist - refers to elements that are about modeling reality within the game. When you are trying to be realistic, that's Simulationism.</p> <p>Of course, a good role-playing game usually combines these approaches in some way. </p>
