(Note to self.. do not write war and peace)
short answer - Balance in all things and excess in none
longer answer
I try to aim for and seek out a mix that overall contains all the elements, though at any point in time may highlight specific ones.
Here are some words that I think highlight some of the colours within our RP
Or to borrow from zen and Jedi - Characters need to be invested in the moment, while aware of it's place in the past and mindful of the consequences for the future.
Practically I expect individuals to own their own story and some wider group (FC, GM etc..) to own the Epic arc. The action part is something that facilitates these and brings its own elements.
Example..
Party come across a wagon being attacked by bandits, they get to do the fight, then interact with survivors.Â

- Action from the fight
- Nice interaction with survivors, probably a nice backstory
- They can follow the threads that lead them along the epic plot of the caravan, why are they moving where are they going, what is is in that chest they hide from you?
- They can follow the bandits and find a larger ring of organised unrest that leads them into corrupt officials and outside influences
- .. there are any number of larger plots that could suit, you can even seed in players hooks if they need them
