as long as it doesn't involve "but you can still play like this if you want to" or similar arguments, go ahead

"Some of our most fun / most enjoyed / most memorable sessions and experiences have been the ones where we went shopping and improv'd out conversations, or attended festivals and played games, or had a Regency-era ball and played through that" ok! I believe you! Have you considered WHY?

i design and publish ttrpgs for a living, and have won multiple awards for my work

that is certainly a charitable interpretation of the Sinclair Ouvre
basically any game can be fun if you play it with people whose company you enjoy; "I had fun with my friends" is not a particularly useful benchmark for discussing game design.

rules elide is one of those ideas that's kinda catchy but when you think about it just *wrong*.
but no, it wasn't in reference to that. It's basically using "D&D" and "PbtA" as shorthands for "Railroading" vs "play-to-find-out".
i mean technically beholders are all aromantic asexual so they belong in the queer community too

In other news, Alex Norris, the artist who drew the above panel, has settled the court case earlier this year and retains the rights to his work! Good to know!
