The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Note: This pattern doesn't discuss the act of telling stories as part of gameplay, for that see Storytelling.

Examples

Grand strategy games such as the Crusader Kings and Europa Universalis series have encouraged Game Instance Stories in the form of "after-action reports" present on forums dedicated to the game[1]).

Anti-Examples

optional

Using the pattern

Spectacular Failure Enjoyment is one of the few patterns that specifically can support this type of Storytelling. Storytelling can also emerge spontaneously from games as Extra-Game Actions, for example as Bragging about results. In this case, Storytelling passes Trans-Game Information between players including possibly Strategic Knowledge.
