The whole book's a pretty easy read. The images from the pdf are spread through most of it. If this level of game design interests you, check out Richard A. Bartle's "Designing Virtual Worlds" as well. This one's much thicker and attacks the issue from more of a practical angle based on experience from existing/past games, but its well worth the read.I had no idea actually, I just liked the report because hes essentialy right
