I think I actually have something you haven't seen, a new, or old, wrinkle on RP play.Among the books in Appendix N are Philp Jose Farmer's World of Tiers/Maker of Universes series, which was a big influence on D&D's uses of different realms with the same rules, and the concept of a dungeon full of traps. It also inspired Roger Zelazny's Amber series.What is more obscure knowledge is that a form of experimental psychiatric therapy, "Tiersian Therapy", was inspired by the setting, where patients assumed personas based on archetypes from the series.https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/use-fiction-therapyThis in turn inspired a final book in the series, with a troubled youth in this therapy group assuming the villain Red Orc's persona.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Orc%27s_RageThere is also an unconnected tabletop game published in French for the setting, called Thoan.
>>97852489Hm cool. I always wondered if anyone would try something like that. Sadly im not psychological (or perhaps not psychotic) enough to actually understand most of it
>>97852489rather ironic considering that people complain about how modern games are used as therapy.Then again, this was being done in a professional setting rather than my goddamn basement so I can see the difference.
Imagine if they'd tried this during the Satanic Panic.They'd have made a movie about it, like Monsters & Mazes meets Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors.
>>97852489>having a non-threatening and shared metaphorical lens to discus being helps troubled people communicateThis is seemingly obvious after reading the article but at the same time neat that someone actually went and did with some success. Using accessible pulp fantasy probably ties into classic Jungian archetype (and probably Lacanian stuff from there) stuff. Cool find anon, how'd you get to it?
>>97861681Get to it, brother. You have a kickass screenplay to write.
