JE Sawyer speaks on Game Design

<strong>[ -> N/A]</strong>

After fleeing in terror from the internet JE Sawyer has returned to publish <A href="http://www.rpgcodex.com/content.php?id=24" target=_blank>this article</a> on your freedom within an RPG world.

<blockquote><em>

That rambling preface is out of the way, so I'll dive right into some personal thoughts about "good RPGs". I would like to believe that I am helping design Jefferson as a "good RPG": one where the player is free to pursue many different attitudes, roles, and paths through the game's plots and feel rewarded for their choices. This last portion is particularly important, as it is too often ignored in RPGs. Many RPGs give the player choice, but make that choice either irrelevant or "wrong". Icewind Dale II had some particularly bad examples of this. No one likes to feel like the way they choose to play their character is wrong. That's like picking the top hat in Monopoly and automatically losing.

It's an interesting read make sure you go check it out at <a href="http://www.tubgirl.com" target=_blank>RPG</a><A href="http://www.rpgcodex.com" target=_blank>Codex</a>.

Why do you have to keep slipping the tubgirl links in there? It's fucking retarded. I couldn't think of a better way to make people hate the site. I'll admit the idea of people clicking on that is funny, but I don't know. Doing it on any other network would get you banned permanently.

For the love of God, don't ever ask that question if you value your eyesight!

Perhaps Killzig is making a statement about the quality (or lack thereof) or the current batch of games that come under the title of "RPG"?

Either that or he's taking a dig at the site. I'm inclined to say it's a combination of both. A little more of option 2 then option 1 though...

I think it's more likely that he just likes posting pictures of tubgirl.

but I, for one, am gone. You want to hide links like this, fine. It's certainly within your rights. I've come to visit this site every so often because I've thought it was the best place to get Fallout and Fallout-related news. Nothing is worth this link, even if you were carrying things that we of more than a passing interest any more. Oh well. Another link gets removed. You win. But what have you won?

Aw Dunkirk, it's an in joke. But if that's how you feel I understand, no skin off our backs -- happy trails.

Just squint a little. You'll see how beautiful it is, deep down.

Really, after you've seen Tubgirl (and Goatse) for the 100th time, it doesn't look disgusting anymore. You just keep staring at it and drooling, dreaming of the tangerine sky.

Pastorius · Post by **Pastorius** » Thu Dec 19, 2002 8:07 pm

I'll take your word for it, Lasse, seeing that both you and Pyro are the Tubgirl and Goatse resident experts.

Yep, once you desensitize yourself by looking at Tubgirl alot you should be able to handle the web's ugliest content without feeling queasy. At that point you start to send the picture to friends and relatives thinking it is a normal funny thing. From there on it is a long slide into the depths of abnormality.

You can't really be experts on an image PASTORIUS! If that's your real name...

I don't see how a collection of pixels can be disturbing. And I'm not sure why everyone keeps saying 'I feel sick' whenever they see a picture like that. It's not even disturbing, just a picture of a woman squirting shit into her mouth. It might be impressive the first few times, but I wouldn't call it disturbing or sick.

:sigh: noobz
