The Culture: Talking About Running The Game

Last night Alexander Macris had John N McGowan on for a discussion on the art of gamemastering.

John writes at Substack here.

John explained here the importance of two things, which are intertwined: the value of Solo Play in learning and mastering the game as it is, and the value of gameplay procedures providing needed structure for end-users to achieve the desired result from intended use- something lacking gravely in Conventional Play.

The conversation extends further than that, and you should watch to see where it goes.
