Play is an activity with no utilitarian goal which you have been tricked, or tricked yourself, into finding enjoyment and OR meaning in.

Hans Messersmith nearly throttled me once when I told him I spent half the time in a 2-hour con slot of The Warren to do chargen and setup. Meanwhile he’ll happily play Microscope, which is basically the same thing 100% of the time (because why even play scenes with characters in Microscope, am I right?)

What I mean by that is, Hans is a hypocrite and I have a problem with letting unresolved arguments go play is what you contextually and culturally expect play to be.
