I noticed that theater and RPGs share the same narrative logic. While reading The Tempest, it felt like I was following an RPG, which made me see how similar these two storytelling forms are. That blew my mind 🤓 #theater #shakespeare #books #rpg
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;
RPGs often follow old sagas and histories in how they work ... you can predict how certain things are going to go if you understand how those stories are generally told, and Shakespeare sort of codified how those stories are told in the 400 years.
