rel: When H.A.R.L.I.E. Was One by David Gerrold
Did you see the invisible gorilla at the table in the corner?
We used to play head games like this all the time in school. They’re best when you’re stoned. Then they’re most real. It’s all about reality isn’t it? If you can get enough people to see the invisible gorilla, then it really is there, isn’t it? - When H.A.R.L.I.E. Was One by David Gerrold
How would a game with a hypothetical invisible ball work?
How would a game with an imaginary ball work?
You can see people mimicking a pass, like throwing a football, and imagine catch (with simulated impact.) How does this differ from the real balls being thrown or the invisible ball?
If we make this game completely rule based, and strict, how would it work?
What happens when a ball is dropped? What happens if there’s ambiguity between passes? (spawning new imaginary balls?) One imaginary ball catch can have multiple interpreted paths even before the catch. The catch can be actually a miss, but the action is mimicking an imaginary catch (a deception.)
Improv Game
There’s an improv game where you stand in a circle. The MC will generate balls with varying traits (easy stuff like heavy, or other prompts like smothered in spaghetti sauce) and pass it to the other players.
