I got the chance to hang out with my buddy Peter (Universal Head) from the Esoteric Order of Gamers. Peter has created more than 450 rules summaries, and gathered a huge amount of experience writing and editing rules text. Let us pull up a chair and avail ourselves of his hard-fought wisdom.
We talk about how to structure rulebooks, how to word rules succinctly and clearly, whether you should repeat rules, how layout and design interact with rules written, and more! Enjoy.
