How do we, as indie game designers and homebrewers, motivate and guide the players of our games toward certain practices, certain Cultures of Play? In this video, we explore the ways that games like Dungeons & Dragons and Blades in the Dark approach this, as well as compare that to indie games like Peasantry and Tales from Elsewhere!
