So there was an amazing article about someone playing Monopoly, and losing badly, and turning it to roleplaying game (along the lines of "Nooooo!" I say to the banker, "you heartless bastard, will you let me STARVE???"), and ending up having heaps of fun regardless. It went on to say how "losing" can be a good thing in RPGs, and more stuff about roleplaying in general. It was glorious.

I'm absolutely sure that I found the article through these forums, and I believe it came up in a discussion about the GNS theory. But it was a long time ago, I can't find the link, oh, and please take the above description with a grain of salt, because my memory really sucks.

Can anyone help me find this article again? I would be eternally grateful. :)

Oops, found it (http://ptgptb.org/0016/monopoly.html), never mind then.

Thanks for sharing it, though. The thread is still meaningful!
