Descriptive games breed hacking, personalization, and ownership. Feature, not bug.

Completely! It’s just irritating when I say “there is a problem with this system” and people say “just change the rules!” I don’t wanna fix a leak I wanna know why my transmission is defective. It’s hard to have those conversations in public – everyone has different limits and goals. I’ve been thinking about streaming playtest games, then doing a vid where we break down what went wrong.

We don’t have a critical language or framework for breaking down why we design. The how and what have been solved… like a billion times. People focus on that.
