A note on GNS and scale ...

[Ron Edwards]

Hi there,

Nicely stated, Nip. I think you've summed up some crucial points in that post, especially if we focus on the most historically-common forms of Gamism and Simulationism in role-playing.

Side note: any chance you'd be willing to share your real name, or first name? I'm having a hard time with your handle (or anyone's really). It's a personal thing, not a Moderator one, so feel free to refuse.

Best,
Ron

I'm sorry about my anonymity, Ron and all others.  I go by the names Nip, Fip, Gip and/or Dip as much as my own name so I didn't even think of it as being anonymous.

My name is Gary Gygax.

:)

No, its Jeremy Cole, and I'm from Perth, Australia.

Hi Jeremy!

No apology necessary - as I say, it's my hangup, not a Forge expectation or anything.

Back to the thread topic! (He moderates himself! See that? Wow!)

Best,
Ron
