This is to pick up on something Jeff Moore stated in his blog but I did not want to veer off course their so I am adding it into my blog. I like Jeff want to put the game back into rpg. I am not so much concerned with the mechanical aspect of that as I am the mindset of the players.
I have been seeing an emerging division in our hobby and players. For convenience I will refer to one division as conventional, and the other as indie.
The conventional player/game is about having fun with friends.
The indie player/game is about taking rp'ing to an artform.
(These are very simplistic definitions.)
One is not better than the other in my opinion, I tend to swing from conventional to indie from time to time.
I have also noticed that 1km1kt and the Forge fall into those categories as well. 1km1kt tends to be more about conventional gaming, while the Forge is more indie.
I am curious is anyone else has picked up on this change? How do you think it will affect the hobby in the end?
