Message:Perhaps self-serving a statement, but here goes.
Conrad's magic system design in his opus Conrad's Fantasy is unmatched, an apex. May have never been brought to full fruition in the convention play with high level pre-gen characters. But the ideas and execution are amazing.
Mere glimpse in Outlands and Arabian Sea Tales, the impact of the Magic Breaking Natural Laws, a genius approach translated into mechanics hard to overpraise, let alone encapsulate in a sophomoric blurb. Picasso being viewed by seasoned Renaissance painters; no one sure quite what this is that reflects the light but all certain the canvas humbles what any artist has or will create.
