178: The Halted Game Fallacy

from Dekahedron Fannish Podcast Hosted by J.P. Gill

Let's talk about the "Halted Game Fallacy." The idea is that giving players physical props like letters or notes, along with other player-driven actions like shopping or checking for traps, "halt the game." But I think that's completely backwards. To me, that's not a halt—that's the game running at full speed.
