Have you RPed in a story written from a single character's perspective?

You know how books/movies usually follow the adventures and happenings of a single person (in book format often from the main character's perspective)? That's what I'm asking about - a story built from, by and around the limits of the perspective of a single main character, but written in a roleplaying format.

I mean, yeah, occasionally there could be 'interludes', where the story describes the inner thoughts of another person or the happenings in different place in order to progress the plot, but overall - a story mainly pushed forwards by a single character. I guess you could say that one person roleplays as the "main character", while the other acts as "the world", with everything else described by them. Or, alternatively - only one character (whose reigns could be "passed around" the writers participating) has a 1st person perspective, their inner thoughts and all, while every other character is written in the 3rd person from the viewpoint of the 1st person character.

 

I hope that makes sense.

A couple times, yeah 🙂

mainly when roleplaying with this one friend of mine who has a habit of wanting to play out scenes with characters she has dreamed about or developped a hyperfixation on when they pop into her head.

I don't hate it as a concept, as it basically comes down to being the equivalent of a DnD DM, but it's certainly mot every prompt that it works with.
