I'm going to be serialising some of the old A.I. assisted Quarter Crown Chronicles stories from Empire LRP that can't make it back onto the field over on Dreamwidth if anyone wants to read along? I'm starting with the work that inspired it all... Olyvar's Dangerous Path - Baths of Betrayal

Transformative Role-playing Game Design | Scholarly books from Uppsala University Publications
This textbook describes theory and practice in analog role-playing game (RPG) design that encourage specific transformative impacts in participants, including tabletop, live action role-playing (larp), and Nordic and American freeform. We describe three types of transformative RPGs: transformative leisure, therapeutic, and educational. We present our model of nano-game design, offering recommendations for designing transformative goals; framing activities such as workshops and debriefs; narrative and culture design.

I've just read a few bits about the Magic the Gathering set and I'm strangely drawn to the idea of a plane hopping magical death race set in the MTG universe. D&D would be funny, but only really does the fighting well and you kind of want the politics and the relationships too. Maybe something PBTA?
