Question: do you guys check his thread and read his notes because you care about his designs or more to see what flavor of crazy he's serving up? He seems to get lots of advice on designs which is why I ask.
For me it's almost a morbid fascination really. I can't help but wonder whether GM is serious or what kind of person he/she is and how they could function in the real world.
Edit- And his designs are usually interesting regardless of feasibility.

MaRo posted something tangentially related to the discussion! lordgrac asked: I was reading your article about designing the Orzhov, from the original Ravnica block, and you mention that you believe that fantasy is fundamentally about morality. I'd love if you would expand on that.
Each genre was created to answer some core human need. Science fiction is about curiosity. (“What if?&rdquo Fantasy is about morality. That is why I believe Magic is actually a science fiction story set in fantasy trapping. Star Wars, interestingly, is a fantasy story set in science fiction trapping. Discuss.
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in an thread with GM_Champion" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against AzureShade when card design is on the line!
