The RPG Wave

Do you like charts? Cos, baby, I got charts! RPG charts!  Last time I tried applying a literary theory to an extract from an actual play of Into the Odd . This led me to pick out the idea that the language of RPG play seems to move between four levels of perspective when players speak.  I decided to try and track these levels of perspective within through multiple games. I decided to take a similar moment between them alla similar moment in multiple games. This moment was action or event resolution and the games range from Into the Odd, through 5e and Night Witches. I'll start with sharing the chart and the data it's based on for Into the Odd, then show the other charts and then write a little about what they mean to me (and maybe a bonus chart or two!).
