I don’t seriously believe that I can judge a game without playing it, usually a lot, so I don’t take these very seriously. But I can talk about its choices and whether or not it ge... read more.

Your players don't care about your world's lore. But that's no reason to stop developing it. We've all heard that first part before. And it's largely true. Most players' eyes glaze over (myself included) when the lore drop hits. Exposition is the exterminator of fun. But even lore presented in optio... read more.
