[Beloved] [Solo RPG] In a dream ...
jburneko:
Ben,
I've been trying to play your game for a week or so now and it hasn't been working. I just can't get in the head space. I was wondering what was wrong. Then I read this:

Alternatively; If my beloved is as perfect as I imagine, then no prison could hold her. I'll just wait outside for 2 minutes while she frees herself.
And at first I thought, oh hey, that's clever. Then I tried thinking "outside the box" as well and I found my problem.
My "perfect" beloved saves me from monsters. Not the other way around.
Just a data point.

Vincent, good call, that sounds like a more rewarding way to play. But as I ponder it, this:

take some time to get to know your beloved as a person
actually does start to feel like I'd be cheating on my girlfriend!
Weird. I didn't have that reaction at all upon reading the text. Maybe I initially envisioned play the way I did because that was the only way I'd feel okay playing it.
Separately: reading all the different responses in this thread is really interesting! If I was introducing this game to friends, I'd want to make that comparison a feature. Seriously, Jesse's response just made me appreciate this a lot more.
Ps,
-Dave
