The fourth wall
« on: April 13, 2010, 11:59:37 AM »
This is going to be one of the oddest lines of arguement in a while:

The Roleplaying game was written by Billy Borden for his pack to play and also to serve as the new Dracula, so does that make the game books an in game artifact (ie does the content of the game exist in game?)

Following on from that are Billy, Harry and Bob aware of their own stats? Do they play the game? I wonder if they play themselves or switch up roles. Do things get strange if we play characters playing the Dresden Files RPG themselves, or just horribly complex (I'm playing Harry, who roleplaying a Knight of the Sword at the moment). This could even encourage us to break the 4th wall when we're playing?

"Billy, If this game of yours is true then presumably we've got players, right? And they're probably snacking whilst we have to manage this stake out withou a single donut. I hate them already" etc.

Although after a couple of statements like that I'd doubt anyone would take the game seriously. Hell, whoever Harry's player is, he puts Harry through hell.

Obviously some guy named "Jim" plays Harry.

Harry is not amused  ;D
