    Wizards of the Coast Hiring New Lead Designer and Head of Game Ecosystem for D&D

    I'm guessing it starts at about 50% of the salaries of those who "willingly moved on."

    It's not really a role-playing game if the point isn't . . . Something something fiction.

    Minimalist and One Page RPGs

    I'd include "game that seeks to use the minimum amount of rules necessary." It was one of my design goals for Modos RPG, which you can start playing with just one module: 13 rules. Sounds minimalist to me. Unless when you look at some of the rules, you're saying "why does that need to be in...

    What Does a "Successful" RPG Look Like?

    It's ironic, but a successful RPG addresses the problematic success/failure mechanism. Successful has no successes. Or, successful is a game 1) without grammatical flaws that 2) is a smooth role-playing experience from beginning to end of session.

    D&D (2024) Chance for a warlord?

    RPG Evolution: If It Kills, We Can Build It

    I think it's a variation of the Because: Magic excuse, Because: Jesus. So if you don't roll high enough, the gelatinous cube gets there before you do? I treat my dungeon traps like woods traps: whoever wants to benefit from the trap has to check on it and/or reset it every so often.
