The resource belongs to Paul Sottosanti. This is a game designer with 15 years of experience. He managed to work in Wizards of the Coast, EA and Riot Games and now shares the subtleties of the profession on the pages of his own blog. The site, in our opinion, is for game designers with solid experience, since Sottonsanti does not explain the basics.
