204: GNS, Real Men, Real Roleplayers, Loonies & Munchkins

from Dekahedron RPG Podcast · host J.P. Gill

I’m look at two different player models: the classic academic GNS Theory (Gamist, Narrativist, Simulationist) and the hilarious 1983 joke "Real Men, Real Roleplayers, Loonies, and Munchkins." I also share my spoiler-free thoughts about Widows Bay on Apple TV+ and give an update on a trope-heavy, narrative martial arts RPG I’m tinkering with.
