Some gaming preferences of mine
Might as well break in this blog with a post that will interest NO ONE except myself.
Show me your incredibly weird, specific vision -- and then give me enough examples so that I can figure out how to move around in it.
Gimme playbooks, classes, modifiable pregens, or a super-quick "roll up a new character" procedure (example: Mausritter) because I am [redacted] years old and I cannot be having with point buy anymore. Make me excited about the possibilities of what I can be and do in your world and then scaffold me into the next step (read: actually playing) instead of throwing me into an exercise in bookkeeping and choice paralysis.
Gameplay needs the magic juice. And my juice might not be your juice, so maybe I'll bounce right off your game, or I'll have to hack my juice into it before I can play it. But do your best to identify your magic juice and put it in your game design, because if you don't, I won't catch the Magic Juice Fever from your game.
