This thread!

My real-life, daily communication is primarily through analogies. Like, when I& #39;m trying to translate the abstract thoughts that are in my mind (which are both wordless and pictureless), I am thinking about analogies.

It& #39;s all analogy. https://twitter.com/roryreckons/status/1386921714316054529">https://twitter.com/roryrecko...

As it pertains to D&D and ttrpgs, this is one reason why the 4e DMG is so much better than anything 5th edition has.

Why? Because it has a LOT of examples and analogies written into it. It doesn& #39;t just tell you a thing- it explains it, and then gives an example.

If you& #39;re a game designer or writer, and you AREN& #39;T neurodivergent, I honestly think you need to add someone into your team that is.

I don& #39;t have stats, but anecdotally, there seems to be a higher than average percentage of ND people in D&D and ttrpgs.

(I have many hunches as to why that might be, and there& #39;s a really fascinating discussion to be had there about the perfect combination of rules/structure with creative space making things feel safe, but I& #39;m going to resist that side-rail and keep this thread short and sweet...)
