Talking to folks in civil service about how they can use collaborative creative games to find new approaches to real problems

Bob Ross x game design theory:
We don't make worlds together, we make illusions of worlds

I think collaborative creative games help you become a better human, so I want everyone to play them.
And that goes double for the terrible people messing up society, because the world would be a better place for everyone if they expanded …
Here’s my theory: the more a game lets you contribute — the more it asks of you — the more rewarding play can be.
But also, satisfaction is not the same as fun

Stating our ideals, loud and clear, and putting them all together in one place. GMless, Story Games Seattle-style
Some are obvious. Some migh…
No, really, we're writing a manifesto. Essential principles of the games we make and the game we want.
It's not out yet, but if you can't wait you can play the "guess what's in the manifesto" game.

"But those quests were made for Follow! I can't use them for the game I'm making!"

How much father-daughter drama and theme can we fold back in upon itself in a scene? Apparently a lot, very very quickly.

Talking about definitions of role-playing games, story games, GMless games… all the big stuff.
But when I say definitions, I mean *useful* ones that shed light on that sweet platonic ideal and help us make better games.
