This thread has gone on for 10 pages where I've had people trying to insist to me that styles of play I value are just psychological tricks that I'm playing on myself, interrogate my play of Story Now games to try and put my in my place by insinuating I must just be doing it wrong, moving goalposts in regards to terminology to ignore the substance of my posts, and in one case, trying to insist that a game I was referring to must actually be like Fiasco rather than an RPG because it didn't fit their narrative, who I asked if they were ok, because no one who has ever looked at the rules text for KoB could possibly believe that and I chose to assume there was some good faith explanation for the disconnect.I literally substantiated my commentary on Edwards ideology, its right there, there are links and quotes! I didn't even say anything about you believing his stuff, I brought it up because he's being continually cited as a source of vocabulary and theory. I'm asserting that his framework is systemically problematic and leading to a breakdown in the discussion, not that you're some kind of bigot, and now I'm being attacked for it because what, you identify with the movement as a whole, and it couldn't possibly have problematic elements? The dude is one of the cofounders of the community where the movement was sparked.I play these games too, we're on session 12 of my current Masks campaign, playing almost every week for more than 6 months, and before this I've been playing it off an on since 2016, I have a copy of Blades in the Dark now sitting on the shelf nearby because these discussions inspired me to check out another lauded Story Now game to cross compare with Masks. I wasn't insinuating its gaming on easy mode, the games being accessible and not requiring the same degree of prep as my Pathfinder campaign; where I produce maps, encounters, and treasure parcels and such weekly; is described as a selling point, Edwards discusses low-buy-in in the essays that have been linked here!What made you think that your posts are even vaguely appropriate?</blockquote>
