Linnaeus: "How much do you play games designed by folks outside your (Massachusetts) social circle?"
Around a third of the rpgs I play aren't from here. We do tend to play our games more than anybody else's, but haven't cut ourselves off at all.
If you set aside our games in development, it goes up to around half and half.
"Do you read many RPGs that you don't play?"
Not many, but a few. Usually I'll read a game when we're going to play it, far less often when we aren't.
(People don't send me many free games, no. Which is good! It'd make me uncomfortable if they did.)
"How about non-RPG games? DO they have much influence on you as a designer any more?"
Yes, absolutely. I play about as many non-RPG games as I do RPGs, and overall learn more from them.
