Featuring;
* Good design practices
* Bad design practices
* Experimental design ideas

Also included is a brief list of quests the aspiring designer should try if they  find themselves with a surplus of time... and a desire to endlessly click on polygonal trees, rocks, or even cows!

Benign Brown Beast has also done a lot of work in this area, something I regret not including in this text. Their mechanical analysis of Runescape's game systems is exceptional, well worth a read here.

Special thanks to Snailkeeper, who tolerates my herb runs, and the Grass Punks who are always supportive and hilarious.
