Nano RPG - Nuance

Check out my Substack to see my other nano RPGs and designer's note on them.

"This is the first nano RPG I manage to make work. It is based on this reality I’m constantly rediscovering when finishing an argument: “The truth lies somewhere in between.” You have an opinion, somebody else disagrees, you discuss and often still hold your stance by the end of the conversation. What’s interesting, however, is when you find out that it has changed the next time you dive into the same topic. Some people reject that, because it can make you look weak or not trustworthy.

Truth is, we should embrace doubt. Most views on the world come from cues we can cross-reference with others. An opinion can be completely false, heavily bias, it will still hold something worth thinking about. That being said, it is difficult to discuss a topic that could shake the foundations of our own mental structure. That’s why we play games, to have a safe space to try stressful things."
