Welcome to the new combined blog

This blog combines two different blogs:
References to land rent and saving the world are about AnswerAnswers.com
References to "the game" are about EnterTheStory.com

In the past I started many different blogs on different topics. Each one would have long gaps as another topic took priority, and I lost track of some of them. Well today I got a wake up call. My game blog was infected with malware. My software was up to date, but I hadn't visited it for a week so I didn't notice. I realized that this was no way to carry on. I need a single blog, one I can update daily, hosted by a professional blog service.

It might seem that my different interests are wildly different: I want to save the world, I make games based on books, and like to talk about whatever interests me at the time. But really they are all the same topic: I like to explore alternate worlds. In particular I want to explore different ways of seeing our world (AnswersAnswers), and to do this is helps to read about imaginary worlds (Enter The Story). They are all the same: they are all alternate worlds that provide useful insights and options for this one.

Another advantage of combining these blogs is it helps to explain my game, Enter The Story. This is likely to attract the most visitors at first, and as a game people expect it to be about puzzles or conflict. It isn't, it's about ideas and exploring. It's about big ideas and alternate worlds. The best stories tell us about our own world, and I think the best games should do as well.

I will with the famous quote from George Bernard Shaw:

"You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?'"
