037 Retro Design Meandering

The one in which I ramble about fixing problems that aren't problems for a product I will probably never make! I talk about how returning to old school roots and then trying to smooth out the rough spots is good thing but can lead to bringing back the complexity many of us were trying to escape in the first place. Then I go on to discuss a different way to do spell access and experience w/aging.
