My Life with Master: The Architecture of Protagonism -- 01/10/2008

The article I wrote about My Life with Master for Second Person: Role-Playing and Story in Games and Playable Media (MIT Press, 2007) is now up at the Electronic Book Review. It's an actively edited site, so your ripostes should be sent to editors@electronicbookreview.com.

I honestly didn't expect the articles from other RPG designers (Will Hindmarch, Rebecca Borgstrom, etc.) would be so expansive compared to my own when I submitted it, so I'd be quite glad to see you take this as an opportunity to expand on me, if you're so inclined.

What I'm Hearing

"We can take what we’ve learned by making games and apply it to reality, to make real life work more like a game – not make our games more realistic and lifelike, but make our real life more game like – so that when people all over the world wake up every morning, they wake up with a mission, with allies, with a sense of being a part of a bigger story, part of a system that wants them to be happy."

Jane McGonigal

What I'm Saying

"What the indie designers are doing – getting together, running a booth together – is probably a lot like what Gen Con was in the early '80s. The indie designers are having their litle 'old Gen Con' inside the bigger Gen Con we have today."
