I'm pulling my driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for the drive to work.

Okay, today, well, at the time of me recording this, I'm coming up on my 20th anniversary.

So back on October 30th of 1995, I first joined Wizards of the Coast. I've been freelancing before that.

I actually been working with the company for a while. But October 30th is my start date for my

for it.

And that allows us as a company to change as well.

I like to feel that we learn a lot of things as we make magic and that we're able to learn from, you know, I talk all the time about the iterative process, how when we're in design, how we try something, we then, you know, we play test it, we see the reaction to it, we get feedback, and then we

make changes based on the feedback, and we continue the loop.

In some ways, magic, the entire making of magic is a giant iterative loop.
