Seeds of Unreality (Part I)

"No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist."

"I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams...Man...is above all the plaything of his memory."
Andre Breton

"You play Conan, I play Gandalf. We team up to fight Dracula."

"The function of genius is to furnish cretins with ideas twenty years later."
Louis Aragon,
"La Porte-plume,"Traite du style, 1928

"Pencil. Paper. Dice. Imagination. A traditional role-playing game requires all of these, and traditional role-playing is my hobby. I don't care if you have an app for that, if you show up to my games without any of the first three, they will be provided for you and you will use them. If you don't have the fourth, well, shit, wrong hobby for you!"
James Edward Raggi IV
