Reposted by EscRadmad is Unplugging his PAX @radmad.bsky.social · 03/09/2026My TTRPG hot take is we need stronger prescription in order to make games sing. When you offer complete player freedom across character builds, itemization, and challenges you have created a fundamentally unbalanceable system. You have to lock *something* down to create effective friction. 2241574
