Yes, THIS.
When I encountered texts like Dogs, and IaWA, and for that matter blogs like Anyway and Deep in the Game (shout out, Chris!), I found that they spelled out something I was desperately seeking in my play, but didn't know how to achieve or even describe. By putting words to the particular ethos of play, AND how to do it, they got me started on reforming my whole play philosophy bit by bit toward something that was satisfying for me.
So, THANK YOU.
