Do heavy meta mechanics disturb your suspension of disbelief/character

>>51175291
Nothing can destroy immersion quite as thoroughly as a need to metagame, for whatever reason. Among other things because it's almost guaranteed that a system that requires metagaming also has poor connection between fluff and crunch.

>In the author/actor roleplaying split
what

Author, meaning administrating BOTH your character (in the 3rd person) and the story at the same time through mechanics such as player facing narrative-influencing points, declarative (as opposed to investigative) knowledge rolls, etc. Mandates thinking about not just your character and their thoughts and actions, but also about how you want the story to shape around them and influencing that directly as a player instead of just through your character.

Actor, meaning 1st person acting through your character with all outside "story" and "world" stuff dictated by the GM and/or dice.

meta mechanics are fine.
I like giving the players a bit of author power over what their home towns are like and such.

No? Author vs. Actor stance, while both present to some extent in every RPG, are actual meaningful points of discussion unlike GNS theory.

Give your examples of meta mechanics because it seems to have a lot of different answers depending on the person.

Tabletop rpg is a cooperative game where everyone have a part in it but usually the DM take at least 50% by being the sole authority who define the situation where others PCs find themselves in and have to react accordingly.

oh no

To answer the questions
>Do heavy meta mechanics disturb your suspension of disbelief/character or world immersion?
Not any more than any mechanics do. Something happening or not happening to my character due to a dice roll is just as believable as it happening due to someone spending metacurrency to fiat it so.

>In the author/actor roleplaying split, what ratio works best for you? Why?
I enjoy more authorial as you get more worldbuilding done. It's pretty rare any of us are good enough roleplayers to enjoy the character for the character's sake, it's usually their story in the context of the world that makes things interesting.

Meta mechanics are any mechanics whereby a player can affect the game world outside the actions of their character. Fate Points and PbtA make-up-the-answer-to-your-infofinding-check are examples.

Then that will annoy me as the DM if the players start making up the shit they found out by their own checks, which supposed to be my fun.
Even with light rules rpg like Savage Worlds I rarely encountered such heavy meta rules.

Well the whole point of these sorts of games is to share. It's as built-in an assumption of the system as NOT-sharing GM's-word-is-law in more traditional RPGs.

But it's not everyone's cup of tea.
