@gamesworkshop.bsky.social i just got back into playing warhamer after a long break(90s); I bought a bunch of stuff to find out 6 expensive models are being made legends. Most stores restrict play to tournament rules (fairness) it does not feel good as a new player to spend 250.00 on dead plastic.

Most RPGs don’t kill creativity; they train players to stop using it. “If it’s not on your sheet, you probably can’t do it.” There’s a better way: Let them try. Then make them earn it. New blog thestatmonkey.com/blog/designi... #TTRPG #GameDesign #WIPWednesday

Designing for Permission: Let Them Try, Then Make Them Earn It
Here’s something I’ve seen way too many times, both when running games and admittedly when designing them… Many systems, almost all the most popular systems, never realize they’re slowly training…
