        "description": "This interesting question is one that was asked as a thoughtful comment following my article on \"high-brow\" tabletop roleplaying games like Bluebeard's Bride and Dog Eat Dog. The commenter asked, plausibly, \"Why on earth do you even need mechanical support for themes like colonialism? Can't the players just roleplay it?\" The query strikes at the heart of the question of what it is about TTRPGs that makes them so wonderful as a medium for story and group experience."
