I had a hard time understanding this blog. One read I was confused. Second I wondered when the point was coming. Third read I understood why it didn’t click for me - OSR (trad?) blogs are sooo meandering. Spreading out their kernels all over the place. Once I started reading like that its concepts came to me.

And it was Play to Find Out in a different package. The Plot spoken about in the article are fronts. Yup, I’m not in the OSR scene.

Also, why did it read like a recipe blog?

If it reads like a recipe blog it may be for SEO reasons

I agree, this reads like a reporter interviewing someone to get them to define terms they made up. This didn’t sell me on why I should want to use one style of play over another, just wistful “torturing” themself wondering if anyone still uses this mysterious style of play. It’s not mysterious. As you said, it’s just Play to Find Out.

I think it would be more useful to show the strengths and weaknesses of PtFO and as well as more scripted gameplay, because each has a place in RPGs, and knowing when to use one over another is a great skill for GMs to practice.
