This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This is completely and 100% accurate.

In my fever dream days I argue that Tweet is the most influential game designer, but rationally speaking I can't back that up with much. Still and all, his lineage includes D&D 3rd and 4th, World of Darkness, and you could argue that Stolze and Laws are his proteges.

I think I know this name as a wargame designer.  Does his do RPGs, too?
