When you start calling sessions art, you strive for them to be art in every session, and this leads to pretentious and turning a game into work. It's just a game so play, and leave the art to artist.

A chair may be an object of art or may be not, regardless of how comfortable it is to sit in. Likewise with RPGs: one can be an object of art, but this in itself does not necessarily make it interesting and exciting to play. I thought this pretty obvious.Dmitry Gerasimovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04870509986491401701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600947515654238699.post-71980208280446482992016-02-26T11:20:01.820-03:002016-02-26T11:20:01.820-03:00But they MUST become artists of the RPG "medi...But they MUST become artists of the RPG "medium!"
