Thema: A Brief History of Fashion in RPG Design

[Selganor [n/a]]

Ich bin eben auf einen recht interessanten Artikel zu den unterschiedlichen "Aeras" des Rollenspiels gestossen:

A Brief History of Fashion in RPG Design von John Kim

Der Rest seiner Rollenspielseite hat auch einige interessante Artikel...

Many authors have portrayed RPG design as being evolutionary. [...] This projects the common view that RPGs have become more "sophisticated" over the three decades since Dungeons & Dragons was introduced. This is fundamentally a technological view of RPG design. In contrast, I wish to look at the development of RPGs as an artistic history -- where there are trends which may die out, or classic fashions which may revive.
Typically art is characterized by having "movements" rather than "generations".

Ich danke dem Mann für diese wahren Worte.
