I feel like a bit of a jerk saying this, especially since he's been very friendly in our interactions on Twitter, but I can't stand Usman's writing. In addition to the unfortunate lack of editing that's characteristic of StarCityGames in general, his articles always feel loosely-reasoned and...

I definitely appreciate the value of redundancy. For me, it's really a "restrictions breed creativity" thing. I think there are a great many ways to build fun cubes, and I want to see how I can best maximize the fun of the cube given the constraints I set out with ("strong" singleton...
