Tabletop Gaming recently carried a long interview with Mark Truman about the upcoming Root #RPG. It was interesting to read how enthusiatic about the boardgame he is and what influence things like Mouse Guard are having on the design thinking. However it also mentions that it is highly likely to stick to the Magpie #PbtA formula and as someone who is not a massive fan of Masks I think that's a bit disappointing.

The factional relationships might be a good fit though so I guess it is just wait and see unless anyone knows what the playtesting plans are?
