Arnesonian Games

Given the recent developments in the board game industry, there might be a lesson there for modern RPG developers as well...?

Games is games, methinks. But I dunno what's going on so I'm wondering where you're headed with this idea?

Not really headed anywhere at this moment. I was never really into miniatures and board games. However, having played a few board games recently, I realized that that hobby has also come a long way since the days of ASL and Stellar Conquest. I am sure there are plenty of neat mechanics in todays board games which can be brought over to RPGs, just like Arneson did back then

Don't Give Up the Ship. I have a hunch that most of the core mechanics for this game came from Dave.

And most of the senarios.
