    Will the complexity pendulum swing back?

    There was a trend for a while, I wouldnt say was just rules lite, but experience specific. Instead of generic do anything systems, folks were developing a lot of bespoke games that delivered a particular experience. Bladerunner for example, was such a system. There were a few complaints that the...

    Spoilers What do casual fans get wrong about Star Wars?

    I think we have a winner here. As a causal, I very much liked the ambiance and experience I got with OT SW. I like the world being mysterious and with every piece that explained things deeper the less interested I got. At some point, the world felt much smaller, much less alien. They stopped...

    I didn’t like the barrel field support rules in smallish pick up games but yeah I can see times they work. If you are doing a narrative GM run opfor against your players they are great.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    We don’t get a ton of time with Earth in Star Trek. Most of it is ships out in space on the frontier. Though DS9 has the talked about here segment.
