ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We love putting labels on how people play TTRPGs: OSR, Trad, Neo-Trad, Story Games, tactical, narrative.The problem starts when those labels stop describing styles of play and start being used to explain the people playing them.In this episode, I look at RPG culture, social identity, psychological essentialism, and why online discourse gets worse when “what you enjoy” becomes “who you are.”The article: https://retiredadventurer.blogspot.com/2021/04/six-cultures-of-play.html#ttrpg #rpg #OSR #RPGCulture #TabletopRPG #RoleplayingGames #RPGPhilosophy #RPGDesign #GameMaster #TTRPGCommunity #OldSchoolRPG #StoryGames #Vindicast

Your character sheet is useful, but it is not where play actually happens. The real interface of a TTRPG is the live exchange between player, GM, and table: intent, response, consequence, and pressure. When players start treating the sheet like permission, the game suffers.

A number of established RPG creators are leaving. I chose this exact moment to begin. This is less about RPG YouTube.
