He was active here on the forums, on Reddit and other channels up until the end of octobre and then nothing. If it's something Paizo internal and should not be discussed that is okay and understandable, I just wanted to know if he is alright. He is one of the more open and friendly and outspoken people and I really liked his take on issues.

I figure he's just been busy and interacting with the public is exhausting.

He deleted his twitter and reddit accounts as well, and was not listed as a staff member on the "impossible" playtest.
Obviously, it's not our place to snoop--the dude's entitled to his privacy--but whatever happened probably wasn't great.
Twitter deletion was part of the twitter exodus, tho idk about the reddit,
His Bluesky handle is still operational, but he hasn't posted in a while.

Didn’t he just become Director of Rules and Lore this year?

The titles at the back of the Playtest credit Adam Daigle as “Director of Narrative” and Joe Pasini as “Lead Designer (Games)” with James Case and John Compton as “Lead Developers”. So there has been some shakeup. Hard to tell when Michael’s position as “Director of Rules and Lore” ended with reagrd to (before/during?) the development of this Impossible Playtest.
I hope Michael is ok. We’ve had our disagreements (usually during playtests!) over the years, but I have always found him to be an incredibly gifted designer and thoughtful and well-intentioned “explainer of things” whether they be design intent, game mechanics and their associated consequences/reasoning or just…life.
