"So much to tell, so little space" is the title, and because this is true for RPGDot as well, here's only a small snippit: One of the challenges in making an absorbing, fun game is to make it accessible and easy to learn for players. A large part of how well a game plays is due to its interface. Role-playing games are an especially good example of the importance of good interface design: there is often a multitude of facts the player needs to be aware of, such as character health, passing time, what each character is doing, usable items, as well as any interface-specific selections/choices currently in effect. Moreover, the player often has a great number of ways to affect the game world: walking around, talking to creatures, combat, using items in the party's inventory, casting spells, using objects that are part of the game world (like opening doors).
