I don't think I'd be able to do a group game thing.

Because none of my characters could be bothered; they are all humorless bastards.

forcing a character to develop in a way they wouldn't normally for a purpose has another name

it begins with r

ends with roading

We used to do King's game. But that always turned to grimdark when someone twisted supposedly funny order.

Like Slapstick will turn into a life or death fight all of a sudden.

Also putting a character in a situation they normally wouldn't be in is a very good way to develop them. Because they actually take something away from the experience.

There's a difference between-

Putting a character into a situation they're not familiar with due to IC reasons-

And putting a character into a situation they're not familiar with due to OOC reasons.

If the character can't control the fact they're in the situation, then they'll develop naturally.

If the character got into the situation because they're holding the almighty OOC ball of "Well I have to put them in this for -so and so-" then it's railroading development, because it wouldn't have happened in the first place.
