How Does TriadCity Differ From Other Multi-Player Role-Playing Games?

TriadCity enforces subjectivity.

So far as we know, Triad is unique in its ability to present highly individualized views of the world to specific players or classes of players. One example of what this means is that, if you and I walk together into the same room, I might see a set of room and item descriptions which differ subtly or radically from the ones you see. Subjectivity of this sort is largely under the control of the world author, enabling fictional techniques such as voice and point of view.

"The fantastic genre ... involves a confrontation between two worlds whose basic physical norms are mutually incompatible. A miracle is "Another world's intrusion into this one," according to a character in Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49, and it is precisely the miraculous in this sense of the term that constitutes the ontological structure of the fantastic genre."
