What a Documentary About Mass Killers Taught Me About Playing Vampire: The Masquerade Some ideas come uninvited. At my university classes this week I attended an analysis of perpetrator trauma theory under the context of Erin McGlothlin's essay Perpetrator Trauma published in The Routledge Companion to Literature and Trauma with a corresponding viewing of the documentary film The Act of Killing by Joshua Oppenheimer. The course had nothing to do with TTRPGs. The connection was not planned.

A uni lecture on mass killers cracked open something unexpected: a better way to roleplay Humanity loss in VtM. Perpetrator trauma theory at your gaming table. 🧛📖

... aber wie in dem untersten Kommentar anklingt, ist es einfach schwer, wenn es so viel Interessantes zum Thema (digitale) Spiele (und Literatur/Deutschdidaktik) zu besprechen gibt! :)

So, here’s a crazy long-shot;
Any German game developers here, whom might be able to help me persuade the arbeidsamt in sending me off to study again?
I thought handling unemployment in my home country sucked, but then I came to Germany 😬

The TTRPG as Oral Literature: Storytelling, Memory, and the Ephemeral Campaign Around this time last year, I wrote what is one of my favorite articles from the blog. An article about why TTRPGs feel so special to me. And part of the argument rested on the idea that these games belong to the tradition of folk art: communal, informal, passed hand to hand through enthusiasm rather than institution, truly alive only in the act of doing them.

Your campaign will be forgotten. No recording captures it, no transcript preserves it. And that's exactly what makes it matter. TTRPGs are oral literature - ephemeral, communal, and more alive for it. 🎲📖
