How Jennell Jaquays Evolved Dungeon Design, Part 1: Pre-Jaquays Dungeons
(This is a slightly cleaned up version of my two Bluesky threads on Jennell Jaquays, preserved in a hopefully easier to read format. Thank Amanda P for reminding me that having these things stored โฆ
Rebecca Heineman's last message was for people to look up her departed partner, Jennell Jaquays.
Jaquays was so influent to tabletop RPGs that "Jaquaysing" became a verb for designing complex, non-linear dungeons.
@nickoten.bsky.social wrote a great article on her:

I don't know who did this, but it's brilliant. If you don't know, "elbows up" is a Canadian hockey term for "be ready for a scrap".

Instead of recommending that recently laid off BioWare devs risk everything to start their own studios (lol like it's so easy?)
You could take a bit of that energy and buy games from some that already did โบ๏ธ
Eternal Strands just launched this week and I'm pretty sure Stray Gods is on sale!

I consider myself fortunate to have gotten two sabbaticals, but I also consider myself very fortunate to have stayed at the same game industry job for 20 years.
