Physical things are difficult to move and store – true. Which also makes them difficult to remove from your possession, unlike digital/virtual ‘things’, which can be altered or disappeared without a trace at the touch of a button, remotely, and without your knowledge. Physiv]cal things also do not require an elaborate infrastructure- electricity, power grid, internet, et.al. to work or to even exist. You could, theoretically, play with your miniatures, rulebooks and dice in an off-grid cabin in the woods by day- or candlelight.

Replacing the personal experience with a totally atomized society of rootless, unconnected individuals dependent on aforementioned infrastructure for even the most basic interactions is precisely what the Powers That Shouldn’t Be have in mind….. The past 3 years have given us proof positive of that, if any doubt existed theretofore.
