I prefer the faux-intellectual ones where people just stand around and muse on the blurring of reality and fantasy using the game as digital escapist medium (like .hack). Most of the other ones out there either lean into the concept without taking it seriously and just lampoon it, or they kind of don't have any vision after the outset and don't go anywhere or become ridiculously convoluted (like the ever-popular Sword Art Online).I know that among peers closer to my age group, the idea of a tabletop game that has that sort of skeleton of a backstory is enticing, but I don't think anybody who's actually played it has enjoyed it very much.</blockquote>
