[Roleplaying] Peer review articles for live roleplaying

[Jonathan Walton]

I'm not sure that's true.  Even within tabletop there are freeform
traditions all over the world that are very diverse even within a
single country or region.  And many tabletop groups, even when working
from the same texts or rules corpus, create their own style of play
that often has very little to do with published rules.  Additionally,
a significant portion of American larp in the Mind's Eye Theatre and
parlor games tradition uses core rules texts in a similar manner to
tabletop.  Definitely a matter of degree, I think, but how strong that
degree of difference is, I'm not sure we have any way of knowing.
