My Take
Tweet is one of those quiet architects whose fingerprints are all over a hobby millions love without ever knowing his name. Shaping the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons alone would secure his place in tabletop history, but what wins me over is the breadth of his curiosity, from the strange elegance of Ars Magica and Over the Edge to a children's picture book about evolution. That last project tells you everything: here is a designer who sees teaching, play, and wonder as the same craft. I admire makers who care this much about handing curiosity to the next generation.
