Written word is not a perfect representation of reality? This warrants a whole fucking post? And here I was, thinking that roleplayers really should know better…

Objective reality and absolute truth are long defunct notions. The world, the self and the very experience of being are a blurry and multi-faceted thing. This is RPG’s raison d’etat and raison d’etre.

Sure, “every roleplaying game is an ongoing story being told and re-told by a bunch of unreliable narrators”. A tale told by idiots, full of sound and fury and signifying nothing. Not at all unlike life.
