Maybe not always things that are strictly applicable to TTRPGs, but broad principles.The only thing I would add is that the best teacher is experience. I learned a lot about game design when I started designing my own (very light!) games. It's easy to talk about game design, but it reminds me of the old quote-Critics are men who watch a battle from a high place then come down and shoot the survivors.Trying to put the principles into action really helps you understand the tradeoffs involved- even when you're designing for a group that you know. It's that much harder when you're releasing it out to the world.</blockquote>
