 [[Live Action Roleplaying]] games are built upon unmediated [[Roleplaying]] and - unlike [[:Category:Tabletop Roleplaying Games|Tabletop Roleplaying Games]] - is played by physical [[Physical Enactment]] of players where they do the actions of their [[Player Characters]]. That players should use [[Diegetic Communication]] as much as possible is a natural continuation of the idea that gameplay should be done by [[Physical Enactment]]. It is common in [[Alternate Reality Gameplay]] where both players and [[Dedicated Game Facilitators]] may need to roleplay to fit into the requirements of both the real world and the fictitious narration overlaid on top of it.
 That players act out their [[Player Characters]] actions puts a requirement on designers to consider what actions the players can perform convincingly. In addition, due to the wish for [[Diegetic Communication]] players in [[Live Action Roleplaying]] games need to communicate about things their [[Player Characters]] cannot discuss without breaking [[Diegetic Consistency]]. Various [[Meta-Techniques]] can solve this, with [[Substitute Actions]] as a specific solution that avoids breaking ongoing [[Scenes]] while at the same time allowing [[Diegetic Consistency]] to be maintained. [[Prompting Techniques]] also affect [[Scenes]] but mainly by indicating when one should stop or suggesting that another should start. In contrast, [[Meta-Postures]] strain [[Diegetic Consistency]] but put less limitations on what players can do otherwise when performing them than is the case with [[Substitute Actions]].
