Thinking about this and typing it out makes me realize that I probably should call that "satisfaction" instead.

Depending on what you figure out you might need to justify it as the focus of your investigation. Because you need to accommodate some really diverse roleplaying experiences that we should deem successful, but don't seem to involve fun as we normally think about it.<br /><br />For example: I normally play pretty standard dnd, but my favorite rpg experience was in a really constrained story game (A Walk in Winter Wood) and it was genuinely terrifying. There was no part of it that was pleasant---no jokes, moments of low tension, nothing. Just stress. I was terribly uncomfortable (but of course I was at least comfortable with the level of discomfort I was in. Or I was willing to undergo that much discomfort for the experience. Dunno how to phrase it.).<br /><br />Anyway that experience was great because it touched on true horror and evoked real feeling. I don't know where fun enters in this analysis.Canyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11548038228505187280noreply@blogger.com
