For the baseball metaphor: home field advantage is in the rules pretty extensively. https://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Home_field_advantage<br /><br />You make your point super succinctly though (and I wasn't confused, just more: huh, I wonder if that's true), so I'm not sure that it needs to be changed.Sean McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319575270937358180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-61678002414812475602018-08-03T18:32:16.504-07:002018-08-03T18:32:16.504-07:00I'm not entirely sure where you are going to w...I'm not entirely sure where you are going to wind up with this, but it's very interesting; please carry on. I recall you comparing RPGs to a party in someone's podcast; this is an elaboration of that train of thought, isn't it?<br /><br />Have you read "The Empty Space", by Peter Brook? Your approach to RPGs as an event reminded me a lot of his re-examination of the theater.<br /><br />Anyhow, good work, thanks.Jorunkunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426891713637954230noreply@blogger.com
