Comment on “Wearing Clothes”

Reading "Playing at the World" got boring after about 2/3 of the way through, and I got tired of the author making the same old mistakes about what roleplaying games can be rather than what most people think they are (i.e. children hero games), but one thing I appreciated about it was learning about the long, long history of wargaming for practice and testing of military procedures, and, since the 20th century, usage of freeform roleplaying in psychology and therapy contexts.
