Reflections on PbtA Design is a collection of my past blog posts that discuss different facets of PbtA games—from their core principles to specific implementations across various genres and settings. It also includes plenty of new material.
Whether you want to design your own PbtA game, get a broad view of how different PbtA games handle things, or read reviews about other games, this is the ebook for you. Bonus: All the sections I wrote are now licensed under the Creative Commons.
