There is also realizing not everything can or should be fixed. Our system has plenty of combinations that are super strong and maybe even a little bit stronger than they should be. But stopping them from being taken with each other limits players who are not trying to break their characters.

For our system, I'm actually working on a new take onrandom encounters. My problem with old random encounters was they were too simple, and they were also just pointless combats. I think there's a better way to do it by giving different other options, than only combat.

Knowing what input to actually take seriously is a skill in itself when developing anything. Not all critique is useful, but any critique is good in teaching you how to take critique.

That sounds super chaotic. I love it.

Nature and culture are always some of the most important things to draw on as you layer the aesthetics of the world.

Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy the past couple weeks. I've never been asked to do an interview, but I would be open to the idea. We can talk more. You can reach me on our discord or do private messages.
