Make believe is still a key childhood past time, yeah. I have four boys and I teach, so I'm basing that on a pretty large sample size too.
Even if you really don't like PbtA games, it's still sometimes a very useful way of talking about things. From a game design standpoint I've found it pretty invaluable. Not because I want to design PbtA, although I might, but because Baker, in the game in his various blog posts, has been blessedly transparent about the design process and what all the moving parts do and how to change them. Reading a bunch of PbtA has made me better able to see the design behind the rules in other, unrelated games.Fair enough... So I am seeing it as an isolated thing when really its part of a broader tapestry. I can get that.
