Frank Chimero has an interesting design philosophy.

“7…. I don’t know what the hell is going on. Neither do you, and neither does any one else, really. We’re all lost and making things up as we go. We are making things before we know what they do and breaking stuff before we know what replaces it.

We’re all just here tinkering, speculating and listening to see if our shovels hit something hard while we’re digging. I suppose that’s what world- building is, though, so let’s get used to it. We need to learn to tolerate ambiguity.”
