Hello,
This forum is no longer available for posting. It has served its purpose: to develop a sensible framework for discussing play, and the children of play, design and publishing. That framework is available as the Big Model.
The development of the Big Model can be tracked through these essays by me:
System Does Matter
early 1999, originally posted at the Gaming Outpost
GNS and other matters of role-playing theory
October 2001; see as well the contemporary
Seven major misconceptions about GNS
and
GNS: what is it?
from a while later
Simulationism: the Right to Dream
January 2003
Gamism: Step On Up
June 2003
Narrativism: Story Now
January 2004
The Provisional Glossary
May 2004; see also
The whole model - this is it
for its prequel discussion, November 2003; see
You can't sneak up on mode
for influential thread
Like it or not, discourse on a given topic should not go on forever and ever, always skirting and twirling and redefining in a kind of glorious undergraduate haze. The existing framework we've built (yes, even by the opposition) may be wrong, bad, and mistaken. It may even lead to repression, oppression, and exploitation for decades. But at the moment, it seems to hold up better than anything else. Absent any standing arguments to the contrary, I'm done with the need for this forum.
Others may not agree. They are welcome to continue the discussion at other websites, and I'll gladly post links to this thread as they come about.
Also, soon Clinton and I will present a new forum which is intended for
newcomers
to the ideas here, in hopes of eventually building the friendly document that everyone clamors for.
