in my undergraduate level game design course Advanced Tabletop Games I really push my students to consider the most important and pressing questions in board game design

i really loved doing 10 episode AP seasons. A 10 session campaign is as long as you ever need.
this is hilarious wow
🤝🤝🤝🤝
we can have our own GDC here lol
When people play D&D and go an entire session without rolling dice, they’re still playing D&D.

Dillin's lying. He knocks on my door every 3 hours with a coy "heyy," and a cheeky satisfied grin "want to see this cryptic I solved?"

Either way I think they rule lol
So that's why I keep dying lol
