I've been obsessed by games with really juicy game feel delivery, and the original space marine was sooooo high up there. Such a perfect demonstration of how to change the 3rd person shooters in small ways to feel so different. This is one of my most anticipated games.

Hey, game designers and players! What are your thoughts on a game's vibes and how you approach it? How do you choose a game that resonates with you, or that you expect to have a good time with? Digital, tabletop, whatever! Wanna talk about it? Let me know. I'm recording stuff.

And this is made possible by Highly Oriented design. Oracles require heuristic action paths. That's why osr "dice as oracles" and Indie "dice as oracles" don't look the same.

I'm gonna need someone to go back in time and tell 12 year old me that I'd be idly staring at the page for a Neopets Roleplaying Game while I fly to a game convention as a professional game designer. 12yo me would just lose their little underdeveloped mind

My GenCon take is that ultimately the least interesting parts of RPGs for me right now are about mass market appeal. It was great to see friends fill rooms and sell books and be on stage. But none of it is what I look for when I play these days.

There's something delightful about serendipitously running into Lee Cope & Sidney - Wax Wings and getting to chat #ttrpgs and games and stuff over a couple of bevvies. Walking away with more ideas than I could possibly action.

Adventure Design is Game Design and most adventure designers are leaps and bounds better at their craft than most game designers
