Supposing D&D is gamist, what does that mean?

[QUOTE="clearstream, post: 8636052, member: 71699"] What I'm thinking of is kind of indicated by [USER=16586]@Campbell[/USER]'s response (about how bad my definition is, but let's set that aside for the time being.) It could be easiest to just search Magic Circle of Play. I'll assume you've done that and we're all on the same page (at least that far) going forward. So as [USER=16586]@Campbell[/USER] points out, we're going to leave some things behind and take on new roles. Think about consent guidelines. As we enter the magic circle, we make some agreements about what we consent to happen inside it. Some things are taken off the table. The situation I am suggesting is quite similar. As we enter the magic circle, we follow some rules that say what is going to be inside the circle. But there are no further rules followed inside the circle: they're all left on the threshold. Consent rules as an analogy don't provide any method of resolution, so - following my analogy - we have some lines and veils but there are no rules for a method of resolution. One might prefer to call rules on the threshold, principles :) [/QUOTE]
