Grant Howitt has said that ap is the porn to ttrpg's sex, and I think that if he had actually wrote how to run his games instead of "just do it, you already know how" that wouldn't be the case.

One Canuck built the #ttrpg tag and the #mecha tag. And that was me.

I don't know who to credit to but the sentiment "every designer is writing down the game that they play" sticks with me for RPG criticism. I think everyone at RRD is comfortable just vibing their way through their games and they don't see "hey how the fuck do I run these?" as an actual problem. At this point I just ignore their output because I find their books legitimately unusable though
Yeah there’s something to seeing how there’s obviously years of experience on learning how to run games. I want that in the book and not doled out in tweets.
