Can't say I agree with every aspect, but it certainly covers alot of ground! I've seen conversations ricochet around that flow chart!

I like that chart. Parts of it I find true.

Basically I only disagree with the narrativist part - I think actually the flowchart is incomplete and there will be a branch that either recognises that the GM themselves either starts investigating real life issues that upset and bother them (via a fantasy scenario (think how the tortoise and the hair is fantasy yet true)), or they will have to keep reacting to player character actions in 'interesting' ways, and it will exhaust them (this branch is much like the illusionism branch).
