One of the corners stones of the RPG hobby is it's diversity; and the challenge to be diverse. I've long said that there's a game for every person who wants to play, one only has to find it.
GNS theory is an informal field of study that attempts to create a unified theory of how role-playing games (RPGs) work. It was developed by Ron Edwards and has been discussed in ttrpg game development circles for decades. The theory focuses on player behavior and suggests that participants organize their interactions around three categories of engagement: Gamism, Narrativism, and Simulation. In the GNS model of RPG design, Simulationism is used for objectiveness and emulation. Per a Google search, for those of us who are just oepning the GNS module.
We should get in touch and have this conversation. 😊 Do we share any Discord servers in common? I find that's the easiest way to connect... eventually I'll be forced to get on X (Twitter), but I'm resisting for as long as I can.
I barely use discord. I’m pretty sure I have an X account, but I don’t use it. I don’t find it useful. I do have a zoom subscription so I stream conversations to my channel that way. I’m not sure how you stream them to yours. Feel free to give me a holler on email and I’m sure we can figure something out quickly.
A common question: "What is role play?" when in should be: "What is role play to you!?"

He's got some good stuff, worth viewing in my opinion.

I... don't know where to find your email address. 😅
@JamesDBacon it’s my channel name at gmail ivanmike1968@gmail.com
Also, how did you find this in print? I'd love to add it to my shelf.
I got that and a lot of the sorcerer materials and circle of hands from adept press. I’m not certain if that website of Ron’s still exists.
Adept Play is still around, but not Adept Press. To the secondary market I go! 🙂
