Mystical Role Play : Myth Or Reality ?

[Ron Edwards]

Hi there,

OK, thread-drift has occurred.

- initiation rituals (gaming as)

- shamanism (sub-topic, Greg Stafford)

- mysticism as game content relative to system

- mysticism as accessed by gaming as an activity

- and probably more stuff

Please take'em to sub-threads.

Best,
Ron

[Renard d'eau]

To answer clehrich first, I'm still out there, and this does help a lot! I have discussed this subject IRL a few times, and rarely had anything approaching what I got here! And for the French-lovers ;) yes, renard d'eau does mean fox of the water while renardeau (different spelling, same pronunciation) is the fox pup.

Since the thread is officially over, I'll take the discussion for those still interested to a new thread, called "gaming as initiation rituals and mysticism as accessed by gaming"...
