Probably my favorite RPG designer talking about a subject that is of interest to anyone into MMOs (WoW and UO specifically) or RPGs in general:

Oh man, that LARP he describes in the beginning sunds pretty intense. I am perfectly comfortable describing my character's furious rampage through a monastery to take revenge for the tender ministrations of the Inquisition, but playing a murderous bastard in LARP. Pretty intense.

Did you ever try out the storyteller mode of Vampire Redemption? That's one of the things that are probably missing in MMORG RPG: A Storyteller streamlining the plot.
