Author Brian Niemeier dropped some deep lore about Ghost in the Shell: Stand-Alone Complex.
It was written via RP. 1 writing team would play the villains & plan that week's caper. The other team would play Section 9 & try to solve it. https://t.co/utP66LIVmD

That, folks, is Patron and Domain Play in action.
The showrunner--the Game Master for tabletop RPGs--just let them writers (players) do their thing within the context of the Series Bible (rules of the game). They did it, they did it on the clock, they did it and met deadlines, and they played fair and square doing it.
The results speak for themselves. Go watch it. It's the best GITS adaptation yet to date.
I will no longer entertain any objection to the #BROSR's position on Patron and Domain Play henceforth now that I know that this very practice was successfully used to produce one of the best television serials of the last 20 years. (GITS:SAC released in 2002.) Being used in a commercial enterprise, to great success with enduring fame and cultural influence, is a far higher degree of Proof of Concept than anything else.
#EliteLevel play has already gotten a lot of people paid. You can bother to do it to entertain yourselves with a fraction of the effort they put in.
