That's a GREAT question.
My first though is: Boldly Going.
Your post-scarcity culture has borders. Boundaries. Limits. Within them, life is easy and safe.

Question for all you #ttrpg folk:
What, to you, does adventure gaming look like in a post-scarcity culture?
Fantasy, sci-fi, western, whatever setting or genre you want to think about; cast a broad net.
