Part of it is based on fuzzy recollections. Part of it is based on stuff I’ve seen over the last couple years (including these past summer cons). But you’re right to say it’s suspect — I think I’m compressing multiple thoughts that should be separated into one idea. I’m going to chew on that a bit. Right now, I think the individual ideas are valid, but yeah, reading it again it is a bit weak smooched together like this.

Thanks!

The word “fun” is so subjective, though, that I don’t use it in this discussion. Everything above is about “people having their fun” — but fun is different for different people, different moods, different times of day, different reactions, etc.

I also assume people want to have a fun game with me. But as a guy facilitating a game — possibly having to teach it or bring the initial catalyst of awesome — I have to be prepared for different ways that people want to get their fun. And that’s what I’m trying to talk about here, about being that prepared.

I’m not wearing pants.

Was less “angry” and more, I guess, crabby? Like there’s a difference online. Anyway, it’s disappointing on my end as well that I feel into my old habit. :/

I cannot say no to a beer. Everyone on the Internet knows this. I mean, you could be all “Hey little boy, want a beer? Just come into this grey windowless van!” and I would.

Oh god, I just said that aloud.

If we meet sometime, remind me to buy you a beer. Hope my exposition on those games spark any ideas, and take care of that head of yours. Cheers!

Fair enough, but you should know that you’re not in control of how your tone is read when it’s just text. Or the mood of the reader. But that’s beside the point (and will *be* the point of a future post, I’m sure).
