    Every work of artistic expression, from painting, through photography, all the way to fantasy improv, is a little window into who you are

    the imaginary you is being put in various situations, mysteries, plots, and they have to figure out their way to victory! (and at the same time reveal exactly how you appraoch problem solving, how your logic works, and what assumptions you make)

    it’s like the random shapes test but you don’t even realise you’re doing it

    though it could get significantly harder to see through the layers of fantasy if you’re dealing with experienced roleplayers playing their 50th character

      Something clicked reading this comment and I realized how much my tabletop roleplay matches the way I approach conflict in real life. I always go for high charisma and try to talk down enemies and resolve through dialogue. I’ll usually go for persuasion before deception and intimidation. Likewise I’m super averse to lying and getting in heated arguments in my real life encounters.

      Hmm.
