RPGnet review of Playground Worlds
Written on July 20, 2008
RPGnet has a review by Ryan Paddy of this year’s Knudebook Playground Worlds. Here’s what he has to say about my article, The Age of Indulgence:
Juhana Pettersson is a funny guy, given to mock-serious writings. Here he discusses the potential of larp as a vehicle for physical indulgence. He gives some real larp examples ranging from wallowing in flour to hitting people with foam swords, then takes the idea to ludicrous hypothetical extremes, before returning to Earth to contemplate ways in which indulgence can distract from more genuinely fulfilling aspects of play if overemphasised. A fun romp around an under-considered topic.
“a funny guy, given to mock-serious writings”
What? You are *not* serious all the time?
Shocking allegations…
