[QUOTE="MoogleEmpMog, post: 3699895, member: 22882"] Interesting. Ryan's thoughts on GMless or GM-lite play exactly mirror my own - that it is A, if not THE, potential future for the hobby. In particular, the idea of reducing the GM's workload to considerably below AD&D levels (to say nothing of d20 levels) gels with where I see successful roleplaying games going. Mind, I don't necessarily agree with Ryan's method for getting there, or even with his Story emphasis. I think board games are at least as good a model to pursue, especially in light of their recent resurgence. Then you have his usual open source advocacy, which is probably correct from a game design standpoint but seems, in this case, to almost completely ignore the commercial aspect in a way the indie-est RPG does not today. :) I find this one a lot more interesting and insightful than its predecessor, in any case.
