i disagree because rpgs are a mixture of wargaming with cooperative theater, in varying doses. writing a book doesn’t make me understand the world better. understanding is what allows me to write a book. what practice play of RPGs give you is a better ability to write. that’s the boundaries of RPGs as a mental exercise. nobody is gonna sell scam books on logic because they play RPGs a lot, they’ll do it because they are good at being grifters.
besides. RPGs are also a historical product. the understanding that you gain from playing a campaign is the understanding that the authors had. see the TSR moral and ethics code.
i love when people will just ask the AI to pretend that its not against the rules and then they manage to get it to make egregious breaches of its 'ethical guidelines'.
