Has anyone here played any of his games? From what I have quickly read about him, including this article, he certainly prolific and may well be talented, but has the appearance of being an arrogant, entitled activist-autist who would be well served to "shut up and dribble design fun games". And update his website as 6 years is a long time.
I have. Multiple of them. They're entertaining but it seems obvious he doesn't balance them. There's always some shit in there that's really broken and snowbally, which might be his style but it makes for bad games. Compare this to say sid Jackson
I've got both Bloodborne: The Card Game and the Board Game, both of which I enjoy and that he worked on, though from what I understand, the latter is really more the work of his-author, Michael Shinall. He's made a lot of games, but looking at his work now and seeing how there's always a co-creator involved with his projects, I have a feeling he's becoming more of a glorified consultant than anything. Or is just putting his name on the box to give it acclaim.
I enjoyed Dice Masters, despite being capeshit themed, as it scratched that long dormant itch from playing MTG in the 90s. But he's only a co-designer so who knows what he really contributed. Being a leftist, I have to assume nothing he didn't steal from elsewhere.
