Form and Content can not save a referee from a lack of Inner Resources. Whether one must believe themselves a shut eye or acknowledge the dice know more than we do, there is a certain kind of play that I have begun to find incredibly rewarding. Oracular Play's premise is fairly simple. It's an acknowledgement that prep goes beyond what you've written and read. Prep can be a conversation in a grocery store, a chance encounter over the holidays, a miserable broken ankle during a hike in the worst Indian Summer in Oklahoma... Those of you reading this have a tapestry of experiences to pull from when it comes to populating your games with prep outside of prepping. It's not just lived experiences either. Art, the news, and other quotidian sources of information can spark up and become embers of immensely pleasurable play. It can be a bit daunting to start out with Oracular play.
