Hey Chris—
Here's what I'm getting at: How do we take the stuff we've done in our mini-play and reincorporate it into the macro-play, in a theoretical sense?
In a strict Big Model theorist sense, we're taking the small play and using it as a spur to creativity in the big play. I find this explanation somewhat unsatisfying, because my experience with small-play is one where it is taken as a totally "real" part of the big-play exploration, and not shunted off in the way that that describes.
So here's some more stuff:
1) How can we use between session activity (either play or non-play) as a tool to help our stuff? Vincent, here's what I'm unsatisfied with about your answer—I can easily picture optional activities that Jody can not do and other people can do.
2) How about aftermath activity, where we reflect on play, as opposed to prep? How are the uses for that different?

This makes BL go "Yes, and Dogs"
Has both aftermath activity and prep activity rolled into one. Are there any other games with aftermath, though?
