Title: The Standard Rants Post by: Troy_Costisick on February 08, 2011, 07:02:55 PM Heya,
There was a tradition in the RPG Theory forum for members to vent their thoughts on game design and game play in what was known as a "Standard Rant." These rants offered some of the best advice that I have ever gotten and are among the most memorable threads here at the Forge. I have collected as many as I could find. If I or anyone come across more of them, they'll be added in subsequent posts. I've arranged them in alphabetical order for ease of reference, but it is also useful to examine the time period in which each rant was posted. They are a reflection of design and play thought at that time.

It's not called "standard" but it should::
