@NotJonMollison You don't play Snork Flork? The creator is such a good person. I play games that are made by people that tell me they are good people onlyTM
And this is true when I take a scientific approach. I'll propose a thesis, show the parameters of an experiment, explain the goal of the scope and goal of the experiment, present evidence, then argue from the evidence,and after all of that I'll get "well, that's good for youuuu"
The tabletop hobby is utterly captive to tendrils of something like relativism. Almost every serious game design thing I make or post is met mostly with "that may be true for you" or "there's nothing wrong with that." There is very little actual game design in tabletop.
@John_Cyrano@Mad__Overlord Your definition is correct. I’ve moved away from the idea. Ben Milton from Questing Beast coined the term before me in his video “D&D doesn’t need WOTC anymore.” Thank you.
EVE online is the missing link in the family tree of Braunstein. Braunstein was UNKNOWINGLY resurrected in 2003 in the "MMOB" EVE Online.
Working on an article that will argue this, and begin to mine the history of the game for ideas that can be ported to the current bro Steins.
A Traveller tonight rode off in a stolen ambulance after lying to everyone that they were a secret agent in order to plant explosives at a corporate HQ for their patron.

@NotJonMollison It sort of reminds me of the “food guide pyramid.”
“People were given a conceptual hierarchy for nutrition and instead decided they should make pyramids of food.”
@NotJonMollison Anyways, it’s been fascinating to watch the use of the term as you describe. Alas, I may have to change our clubhouses entire name since the use of the word is now probably lost. Or move away from what we’ve described over the years.
Absolutely masterful video by @NotJonMollison on wargaming clubhouse campaign play.
I’ve made it one of the intro videos I suggest to every new member of the club, and agree with every bit of it including what happened to the hobby.
