Yeah, I don't have a lot of personal investment in any particular designer. But, my hope is that RPGs get more tech designed around running great games with little or no prep, and that wrap up in a session or two. I think that Jason Cordova and Jason Morningstar are really good in this space currently, but in ten years? That's a long time.

I’ve been roleplaying since 1980, when my college roommate came home with character-creation rules for Traveler. I’m currently involved in two ttrpg groups, both online. One is on hiatus due to GM life changes, and the other is running its first pbp game on Discord, Delta Green. I’m playing a CIA analyst whose first encounter with the unnatural has her close to her breaking point. It will be exciting to write the post when that happens.
My Lines involve player consent. If I would put a Content Warning on a reading in class, so that students can prepare themselves for the subject matter or even choose to be absent for self-care, I would not expose a player to similar themes without advance knowledge and consent by the others. And I always affirm and respect others’ Lines implicitly.
Veils: None. If we’ve agreed to deal with the subject matter, I’m okay with depicting it, as long as all the players deal with sensitive materials in a sensitive manner, even if our characters may not. Again, I always affirm and respect others’ Veils implicitly.

And I thought all we had in common was a love for High Frontier. Pleasantly surprised to discover you're the author of this list. Unleashed dogs and unmanaged dog waste (or bagged and discarded on the trail) are about the only things on a trail I like less than other people's noise.

I'd like there to be more games like Microscope, so Ben Robbins would be on my list.
I think Philip Reed does a lot of cool things, so I'd like to see more things like what he does.
I like the open-endedness of Fiasco, so I wouldn't mind if more people were inspired by Jason Morningstar.
With 10 years to go, maybe one of our 24 hour rpg contestants will have become an inspirational designer.
It does kind of look like the decision not to ask this question 10 years ago was a good one...

I don't know if I had an answer for this 10 years ago. I've thought about it some today. I'd like it to be some people who have changed things up here and there.I'd like there to be more games like Microscope, so Ben Robbins would be on my list.

Reply: General Role-Playing:: Re: QOTD AUG 29: What place does intoxication have in your role playing games? As a GM, how do you model it? As a player, do you seek opportunities for intoxication and why?

Only verisimilitude. Generally, In my experience, players insistent upon playing intoxication do so by method acting... And then become a drag upon the game.

Don't know, and don't care who they'll be. I just hope they bring good ideas.
