Re(ugh)skeeting because I've been thinking about this a lot. About where I get my news from, and what's excluded from my minimal attempts to keep up with the news. I check on social media, on american Late Night talk shows, and skimming the Guardian because a friend That One Time said it's great.

I think, as a community, we should cultivate the skill to, even if we don't like it, let "Fountain" be in a museum unpissed and let dive-bar urinals be ugly.

020

Leon "Used to Be Cat" Richardson @catlinggun.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

But at the same time, I see friction that often takes the form of intense interpersonal strife. Maybe that's why I'm posting this thread. I notoriously hate when people argue bitterly over games.

120

Leon "Used to Be Cat" Richardson @catlinggun.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

But at the same time, the purpose of any text is communication. I think there's value to be had in thinking about the ways "TTRPG as expressive text" and "TTRPG as instructional text" are sometimes at cross-purposes, to varying degrees and varying effects. And, to me, value in both approaches.

130

Leon "Used to Be Cat" Richardson @catlinggun.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Pretentious? Maybe. I won't deny it. And, I can see a person trying to piss in "Fountain" and being disappointed both by its lack of plumbing and also the irritated security guards. There's nothing wrong with being frustrated by something that doesn't serve its assumed function.

120

Leon "Used to Be Cat" Richardson @catlinggun.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

And I don't think that's a bad thing! Actually I think it's great. I share this because I think there's value in understanding both the interior design of utilitarian objects, the artistic value in games meant to be played, and the purpose of objects - and texts - out of context.

110

Leon "Used to Be Cat" Richardson @catlinggun.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

Like "Fountain", there are TTRPGs and video games that use the same form for a different function, removing it from its context to make a statement. Games that are not meant to be played, or if they are, not meant to be ENJOYED, but rather meant to serve as a vehicle for expression.

130

Leon "Used to Be Cat" Richardson @catlinggun.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

That is to say, the "standard function" of any game is to be played and enjoyed. That is the purpose of a game, like a urinal's purpose is piss. The form varies tremendously but most of them serve this function. But, that does not mean it's the only thing it can be used for.

120

Leon "Used to Be Cat" Richardson @catlinggun.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I was talking to good buddy @garmbreak1.bsky.social and I figured out someing important. You know Duchamp's famous sculpture "Fountain"? The urinal? I think some TTRPGs are like that.

I wanna thank @laurieoc.bsky.social for taking a gamble with my last minute pitch. I have no true academic works to my name. All I have are poems. I knew folks loved my games but never thought that anyone would be interested in my words about design theory. Y’all proved me wrong. Thank you 💖🥹

There are elements of Homecoming's underlying premise (a main character who suffered abuse and neglect because his parents knew he would have to be a sacrifice and were afraid to love him) that are genuinely interesting
