Consequences

The support for Player Create Game Elements can produce anything from individual Game Items to complete Levels or Player Constructed Worlds. Being able to create game elements typically provides players with Freedom of Choice and this can be the basis for allowing Pottering activities within a game (as long as other aspects such as Tension is lacking from the experience). For games meant to include Roleplaying, letting players create parts of the game, most commonly Player-Created Characters, allows them to modulate in which way they should roleplay.
