I enjoy Live Action Role Playing games, the history and future of game design, and methods of positive social organization. My favorite colors are Seahawk Blue & Seahawk Green.

winning a championship / raising money to save the dance hall is absolutely a caper, we just approve of the hockey / dancing more than the heist criminality

We're ten or so years into this & STILL I see people shouting "stop talking about the Evil Wizards who are Doing Evil Wizard Stuff, this is really all because of the rotten institutionalists" and "stop saying the institutions need pervasive ground-up reform, this is all the Evil Wizards' fault"

But, hell, "oligarchic institutional rot and elite capture have left this society vulnerable to exploitation by Actual Evil Wizards who want to do Actual Evil Wizard Things" is a better political analysis than 95% of what I see running around out there, on the internet or off it

sorry, bud, but you're clearly dressed as a first order baudrillard. this contest is purely for third-order baudrillards. come back when you lose the distinction between reality and representation.

in a world of more and more imitators, we find less and less meaning. all distinctions between the real and fictional, between the copy and original, between the object and referent, disappear.

biology studies are hard, what with all the ethics, and then you gotta study animal-led actions without outside influence?

If you're a game dev, or a ttrpg designer, and you're not deep diving specifically into children's boardgames once in a while, you're missing out.

Example: a rondle-based Haensel&Gretel game, for 4yos, has one of the best doomsclock mechanic I've ever seen, dependant only on different PC actions.

if you don't require play to be in this education-survival paradigm, you position play as a behavior that is self-generating, the neurons firing to cause novel reactions as like laughter and humor.

which feels more right to me, but much harder to justify evolutionarily

if one requires play to be so abstracted back to a core survival, then humans can also have their play abstracted as such.

Which is fine to me, but then you're saying that pro-social happiness is a survival mechanism.

there are cases of play (crows riding yogurt lids down slopes) that boggle people who require an education/survival reason for all animal play behaviors.

This doesn't surprise me.
1. @friede.bsky.social research work on Actual Play is par excellence
2. @mitpress.bsky.social has been putting out the best scholarship & reference material on TTRPG topics for the last several years

Match is as obvious as it is beneficial to all interested.
Congrats Em!
