This Game

The following bears repeating...

This is a game about interacting with this world as if it were a place that exists.
Killing things is not the goal.
There is nothing that is "supposed" to happen.
Unknowability and consequence make everything interesting.
You play as your character, not as the screenwriter writing your character.
It's your job to make your character interesting and to make the game interesting for you.
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
The answer is not on your character sheet.
Things are swingy.
You will die.
(By Gregory Blair, Brian Harbron, FM Geist, Zedeck Siew, Brian Murphy, Dirk Detweiler Leichty and Daniel Davis)

To which I would add...
Roles/Goals
Make the world seem real.
Play to see what happens.
Make the player's lives seem dangerous, interesting, and heroic.
Support player safety.
