Discussion of table top roleplaying games.
Being real? I appreciate the ppst, but that article is pretty crap. I've been playing ttrpg games since the eighties, depending on exactly how you define things. I've been forever DM for most of that.
I have literally never had a conversation about rpgs that mentioned any of that. The first one in particular is a given anyway, because they're games. Even improv has one rule.
Again, glad you posted it because despite thinking the article is crap, it was enough to start a discussion anyway :)

I'm with you. None of those topics have come up at the table or online.
Mileage varies, I guess. I’ve also been playing since the eighties (late Seventies, really). I’ve been a forever GM for most of that (not a forever DM, though). I have not been particularly active on game design forums, but still have seen every argument on this list someplace at least once a year, since at least the Forge era (so, about twenty years or so). Less often recently, maybe. Way more often earlier.
*Ten things that will pad out my list of generic rpg book topics. I definitely didn't start with a clickable title and then fumble coming up with the ten things.
But, all of those questions have answer, even if they are "Wow, that's a stupid question".
Garbage tier article lmao
