[QUOTE="Aberzanzorax, post: 5952395, member: 64209"] Ah, I wasn't clear in my first sentence. What I meant is that in the video that you mention there's no reason to exclude rpgs as art. I was giving one reason why rpg products could potentially be excluded, but then reconsidered. However, I think it is important to have an understanding of the difference between, as in my cooking example of art: the recipe the artistry of creating the recipe in the first place (the development) cooking the recipe Mozart's sheet music itself isn't art. The orchestra could be argued to be creating art by playing it, or merely presenting mozart's art (not truly creating it themselves). For a symphony, I'd argue that the "creation of the art" is the composer penning it...but that the expression of the art is an orchestra playing it. Hence there are similar considerations for rpgs as art that must be performed (unlike a painting which simply exists). [/QUOTE]
