Types of Indie Gamers

I think maybe that there are three types of indie gamers. There's burning wheel people, sorcerer people, and riddle of steel people.

Sometimes I feel like the last living riddle of steel guy.

Speaking of which, I want to play it again. A big 20-session campaign. I'll run.

Really? Cause I really love Riddle of Steel.

I'd be interested in hearing what you think are the fundamental divides between the three at some point.

Remind me about it in person.

You know what man? I totally forgot to ask you about this. Gargh.

As any discussion of it on the internet will ineveitably result in Stupid.

I think we spoke about reward in the moment, reward for later, and how that tied into fiction before.

Anyway, maybe when I see you soon.
