MODERATORS
 

This is a really good interview. tl;dw is...

  • their next game was going to be D&D, but they changed course and are doing something else now
  • Vincke has a vision for "the one RPG to rule them all", and each of their past three RPGs is a step closer to it
  • the next game is not going to be that master vision but one step closer toward it, with their previous 3 RPGs proving out emergent design/multiplayer, story and consequence, and personal stories/performance capture, respectively
  • Vincke would like to have this next game done in 3 years compared to BG3's 6 year development cycle, but realistically expects 4 years, as long as there isn't something like COVID-19 or a war in Ukraine to impede their progress

Okay, sure, but they've been doing that since... what? Chronicles?

The rate of bans has dramatically increased since 2020. They even had to errata an entire new mechanic in the Ikoria set because some of the companion cards were crazy broken with the original design.

An extra wrinkle to this is that they are making bans due to how cards perform in online play, as best-of-one is a widely played format now.

I mean, I absolutely agree Best of One is an awful way to gauge card strength.

Did not know they'd ramped up bans.
