Show056: Reincorporation with Ryan Macklin

This is a long show, about Two hours and Twenty minutes. It served as a way for me to have my Gen Con talk with Ryan, as I didn’t have that opportunity this year. We talk about reincorporation, niche protection, and what a Roleplaying game is. Part of this show is a follow up to Ryan’s previous show about reincorporation. There were some moments when I forgot I was being recorded and was playing with a pen, and a clickable eraser, sorry about that.

    Clyde (and Ryan),

    This was one of your best episodes ever! I really enjoyed the discussion, though I disagreed strongly with each of you several times. (For instance, I think the problem with simulationism is not that it doesn’t exist, as Ryan maintains, but that it encompasses several different agendas.) But any podcast which inspires yelling is a good one. I’m trying to get a more coherent response in writing, but didn’t want to wait to give you some positive feedback. Great work.

  3. Hey Mike,

    Sorry for the delay in response… I’m horrible on timely comment response. Glad to hear you both agreed and disagreed with us. I love hearing about evoked emotional response. I’d also love to see and link to your response.

  4. [...] Still grappling with issues of reincorporation, as discussed on Master Plan and then at great (excessive?) length on Theory From the Closet [...]
