DriveThruRPG rolling out new layout: Over the last few weeks DriveThruRPG has been rolling out their new layout. While it certainly ‘looks’ a bit more modern, the change is a bit jarring and it’s not yet clear if it’s easier to use or navigate. Thoughts on the layout? Let us know in the comments or the socials.
Discussion of the Week
How do I get me players to actually read the rules?: Interesting discussion in this thread! In part because the premise is not a given. You don’t get to give homework as a GM, and the degree to which you expect a person to understand a game before they show up is a matter of taste (and honestly said person always has more control over it than you do). In my experience, games that are easier to learn, either from a book or at the table in the first couple of sessions, are more fun to play.
