| Aug 10, 2018 at 8:03 | comment | added | V2Blast | It's years later now. As @SevenSidedDie pointed out/predicted above, the two tags are very inconsistently and quite interchangeably used - and the tag wiki doesn't at all make it clear how they're supposed to be used or how they're different from one another. I think this issue needs to be brought up again. | |

| Oct 20, 2014 at 5:20 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | @Sandwich Are they used differently though? It's not enough for the words to be about different ideas if the tags don't get used differently—that would indicate that the site's users don't actually see a difference. | |
| Oct 18, 2014 at 4:38 | comment | added | Sandwich | I'm in agreement. Plot and Story are definitely similar, but different tags. | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 18:05 | comment | added | T. Sar | @SevenSidedDie Makes sense. Yes, I can see that, now. | |
| Oct 17, 2014 at 18:04 | comment | added | SevenSidedDie | Regarding [gm-technique] vs [plot], plot is more specific than [gm-technique] and shouldn't be gotten rid of just because it can be covered by a broader tag. We like specific. (Ditto [campaign-development]: not all development is plotting, not all plotting is done on whole-campaign scale.) | |
