I’m asking in terms of crafted, interactive activities that aren’t necessarily aiming to be fun. Say a little more serious or dry, but still interesting, thought-provoking, and emotionally compelling.

      I’d be surprised if that wasn’t what prompted the question to begin with.

      Calling them “games” paints a certain picture that TTRPGs don’t exactly fit in. Someone who might be up for a game, may not enjoy RPGs, and vice versa.

      There really should be another word.
