Whatever Minor Design Disagreements I Occasionally Have With Him, Rosewater Will Always Be One Of My

Whatever minor design disagreements I occasionally have with him, Rosewater will always be one of my favorite people, as both a designer AND human person.

Im really torn between the fact that my favorite set of all time Will be seeing the light of the day again ( lorwyn) and my gut feelings of how It Will be fucked up by the new superbland mediocre art style and the real world politic agenda ( not so) subtly pushed in late sets, in a CARD GAME. We want to see stories of faeries, kithkins, elves, goblins, Giants,merfolk and cinders in their beautiful fantasy setting, no trans they/them faeries that think they're kithkins

Two points:

1) When returning to a world, we’re very cognizant of the aesthetic of the world. We understand returning to Lorwyn requires embracing what made people love it the first time around. Obviously, there will be updates, as the game has evolved much since our first visit, but we’re very aware of the need to recapture the plane’s essence.

2) For far too long, fantasy, as a genre, was used as a way to reflect the worldview of those in power. It leaned into stereotype and reflected how the privileged wished the world was. Modern fantasy is more reflective of the actual world, which includes the wide variety of life experiences that exists.

Trans people, people of color, and women playing a larger role, are all part of modern fantasy because they’re all part of the actual world, and it’s important that our stories and world building be reflective of that.

“I want to return to a time where we could ignore the existence of certain elements because I was happy living in that ignorance” is not an excuse to deny real people and their real life experiences.

Entertainment is at its best when it lifts everyone up and isn’t used as yet another means to ignore certain people’s reality.

This is why I'm here

I truly am obsessed with how Knives Out was like. Hello Daniel Craig, man who has spent the past two decades of his career being alternately beaten up and objectified playing an action hero with no personality. Would you like to please put on a shirt and an incomprehensible vaguely Texan accent and flex your character acting dark comedy muscles as well as your pecs for a while. And he’s like BOY WOULD I and they made a work of art. Also love that they put Chris Evans in sweaters. Get your beefcakes then dress them nice make them soft and give them some bonkers character work to do it’s what cinema needs more of

An excellent sentiment.

Admittedly, I will have to watch carefully with a few of my own family members to be sure I don't fall into this.

When you discuss set complexity, what do you mean? I prefer a set with lots of mechanics being used in unique ways or in ways not seen the first time around, but I don't like complex/wordy effects.

There are three basic types of complexity:

Card complexity - Can you read the card and understand what it does?

Board complexity - How hard is it to understand what's happening on the battlefield, how the individual cards interact with one another?

Strategic complexity - Do you understand how to best play the card?

You dislike card complexity, but seem to enjoy some amount of board complexity (and I'm guessing strategic complexity).

On a separate axis, there are numerous mental skills that Magic cards can tap into and some are probably easier for you than others. For example, maybe you're poor with memory tasks, but good at picturing hypotheticals (aka future board states).

Today is my second week of being laid off. I probably have to make my older son- 4 - switch daycares. My younger son, 2, just started, and its just so expensive. The potential place is okay and less money, but he said on the way to see it that he likes his current school, and I almost broke into tears at that second. I don't want to switch schools/ care centers. I feel like everything I've done, to lead me to a moment that I'm so barely prepared for anything, having less than the minimum to keep everything running (I'm already falling behind every month on bills)... I've really failed here. My wife gives birth tomorrow to our third - a girl- after our first two were IVF boys, we are having a girl naturally (all of our embryos were boys). I should feel more blessed, but I just feel terrified.

I love my kids and my wife. I really hate myself right now. I hope I feel any better after I cry, because right now, I really need to.
