It's True Because It's Fake: Emotions in Role Playing

We often speak of role-playing as a profound experience, during which we feel emotions first-hand and carry them with us for a long time. But where do these emotions come from?

In this dynamic, not-too-serious conference, we'll attempt to address these questions and provide some food for thought. By Ropecon 2024 Guest of Honour Alessandro Giovannnucci.
