A Game Designer’s Analysis Of QAnon
Interesting article.
"I am a game designer with experience in a very small niche. I create and research games designed to be played in reality. I’ve worked in Alternate Reality Games (ARGs), LARPs, experience fiction, interactive theater, and “serious games”. Stories and games that can start on a computer, and finish in the real world. Fictions designed to feel as real as possible. Games that teach you. Puzzles that come to life all around the players. Games where the deeper you dig, the more you find. Games with rabbit holes that invite you into wonderland and entice you through the looking glass. When I saw QAnon, I knew exactly what it was and what it was doing. I had seen it before. I had almost built it before. It was gaming’s evil twin. A game that plays people. (cue ominous music)" https://medium.com/curiouserinstitut...n-580972548be5

I didn't think this was political; I thought is was more about psychology. I have asked for adjudication from moderator.

As I was reading, I related everything back to D&D and the crazy part is it fits perfectly. Every point about what makes the subject interesting to participants I have either used as a DM or seen in a game. From knowing the rough plot and leaving breadcrumbs so the players tell the story themselves, to taking a cool connection the players made and building a new plot branch around it, and providing rewards for basically creating their own story. It's why playing in a group is more fun, because you get the social feedback and reinforcement.
Great find. |

I don't think it's anywhere close to controversial in either spirit or letter of the rules. So far, I see only Ooo-First-Reply syndrome. For me, the article read as a bit of pop-psychology wrapped in a cool theme.

Quick
Qanon is actually a subterranean lizard people plot to overthrow the nwo. Now it's just a regular conspiracy theory thread |

I like this part: Quote:
Come on man. If the title was A Game Designer’s Analysis of Republicans instead of QAnon or any other group then it probably wouldn’t fly. Should we add an article on Antifa to balance this out for the righties?

Ok, you got me there. I glossed over once I picked up on the author's angle.
