Rolpunk Manifesto
(PDF)
Rolpunk is old news. I still like it, even though “it’s about having fun” is practically content free. What does that mean? Doesn’t everybody say that they want to have fun? All except James Edward Raggi IV who says I Hate Fun, of course. In the same series, he said that “using the word ’fun’ in any meaningful way requires quite an explanation of what is meant by fun.” Right on!
I like the series. He thinks that people use the word “fun” because they want “quick-fix, feel good entertainment exactly as they like it with as little effort as possible.” And he argues against it. Also old news, but – dare I say it? – a fun read! :-P 😄
