I think that applies to D&D too, considering that the current campaign we're doing is supposed to be about finding out who's murdering people, and I'm currently laying a web of deceit that will eventually lead to my rogue usurping the current leader of the cities mercenary police force, someone else sunk a tavern into the ocean, the giant red half-orc convinced people he's a health inspector (so he could sink the tavern into the ocean), and the team has collectively managed to set off a coup against the governing body called the "Golden Triangle Rebellion".
