Parlor games with role-play elements were part of French aristocratic culture already in the 1500s. Such evening entertainments would spread as leisure time & literacy spread, with many such game outlines in publication by the 1800s when the Prussians "invented" the masculine preserve of wargaming.

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now
