This article takes a ludological approach to QAnon and investigates the conspiracy phenomenon as an Alternate Reality Game. Drawing extensively on media reportage of QAnon and reviewing its discussion in the domains of digital culture, media scholarship and game studies, connections between the QAnon conspiracy movement and digital game rhetorics in far-right online spaces are highlighted, with attention to the notions of Gamification and Dark Play. Exploring the intersection of digital game cultures, online conspiracy movements and political extremism, this paper invites scholarly attention to various aspects of QAnon from the fields of games studies and play studies. With the QAnon phenomenon highlighting the significant political impact and import of games culture, this paper shows that the field of ludology has much to offer a range of researchers in interpreting the motivations and meanings of the online communities from which QAnon emerged.

Being an expansion of a presentation given at the DiGRA 2015 conference, this article discusses De Profundis by Michał Oracz, a Polish role-playing game from 2001, as an innovative project rooted in previous experiments of the Polish role-playing games community. Albeit generally recognised as an RPG, the game merges the features of the pervasive larp and alternate reality game with the more traditional forms of role-playing. The game is discussed as blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality, and destabilizing the magic circle of play, as well as merging the presentation of operational rules with what could be recognised as a game session.

Artykuł, stanowiący rozszerzenie referatu zaprezentowanego podczas konferencji DiGRA 2015, skupia się na polskiej narracyjnej grze fabularnej z roku 2001, De Profundis Michała Oracza – innowacyjnym projekcie osadzonym w sferze eksperymentów podejmowanych na polskiej scenie gier fabularnych. Choć produkcja jest rozpoznawana przede wszystkim jako RPG (narracyjna gra fabularna), to łączy cechy pervasive larps, gier rzeczywistości alternatywnej (ARG) oraz starszych, skonwencjonalizowanych typów gier fabularnych. Omówiona została w kontekście zacierania granic między fikcją a rzeczywistością oraz destabilizowania magicznego kręgu gry, jak również łączenia prezentacji zasad operacyjnych z przedstawieniem zapisu sesji gry.
