Has anybody created or come across a game that deals directly with stereotyping? I was half asleep when I came up with a game about stereotypes about African...
I was looking at "Be Cool" the other day, and there is a quote by Sin LaSalle (Cedric the Entertainer) that really stuck to me. Then when my mind wandered to...
Hello to all, I had a nice little intro that just disappeared into the ether. Perhaps it was a sign that it was too long. So here are the basics: My name is...
One more thing before I shut up and let everyone introduce themselves... I am proud to say that I have assembled a VERY diverse group of players. Myself (AfrAm...

... I'd like to hear about Paul's experiences (and those of others) about successfully doing this kind of anthropological remixung. I'm starting to read Keith...

I posted this on the Story Games Test Community, but I think it is particularly relevant to things here. A while ago on the now-defunct RPG Theory forum on The...
... Arcady, Nicely done! I like the rhetoric along the side and the image is striking and nicely juxtaposes fantasy and history. Same old story different...
