    How much do you know about role playing games?

    What best differentiates a 'fiction-first' system from a 'rules-first' one?

    Answers

    Fiction triggers mechanics; rules are activated when the narrative justifies itCorrect
    Always use d20
    Does not allow combat
    Ban maps and thumbnails

    In fiction-first you first describe what happens in the fiction and then choose the relevant mechanics; In rules-first the regulated action is usually chosen and then narrated.
