The second essay in this series was about boxed RPGs, their design benefits, and games that adapt common board game components.
The second interview builds on that. I ask Jason Morningstar about the state of boxed RPGs, their appeal, and their challenges.

@lizziestark.bsky.social and I are wrapping up a game about vaudeville performers, and part of the warmup is spontaneously killing it with the most wretched jokes imaginable. Everyone else is required to give you a huge reaction, because your character is hilarious.

My second interview in the Violent Delights design series is with @jmstar.bsky.social, co-owner and creative director at Bully Pulpit Games.
I ask Jason, designer and publisher of various boxed RPGs, what should other designers know about the opportunities and challenges for boxed RPGs?
