 Game Studies - Play Dead: Genre and Affect in Silent Hill and Planescape Torment
While there is some question as to whether a game (if it has goals and parameters) can really be a rhizome, it is worth considering the two models in relation to the different pleasures these games offer their players.
Progress through the space of the game is concurrent to the progress at the "level" of the avatar, and the two patterns of accumulation remain intimately linked.
Both of the games use the model of spatial navigation (rhizomic or maze, respectively) that serves its generic agenda, and each uses an avatar that responds to its world, and its players, in a manner that amplifies the game's own particular brand of pleasure.

D&D the game allows them to inhabit characters that are at the center of all the action, to reimagine ethics and a normative social order, and to reflect on very real questions of liberty and equality through fictional race relations (Human, Elf, Dwarf, etc.).
While Dungeons & Dragons is directly concerned with class-based prejudice (Empress Savina's political party-line is that Mages and commoners must be regarded as equal), it elides the ways its own representations reproduce racial prejudices -- Human, Elf, and Dwarf are definitely not the same in this universe, and nowhere near equal.

For those who don’t know what the game is about (is there anybody who doesn’t?), the premise is that you role some dice to get “characteristics” such as Strength, Wisdom, and Dexterity among others.
