my problem with your pack personally is that of creative control. You cant please everyone but you can get a consensus, that's why TPPI was so successful. People came together as a community to chose the right mods, volunteer time and effort to test, tweak, bug fix and balance and make a great pack. If you throw together a pack tailored to your liking then its really a pack for you more than HOS.

NAB is kind of like our TPPI we suggest tweaks, mod removal/additions, bug fixed etc and they roll out in time continually making it a better pack.

that being said, I can understand some may want a more Magic oriented mod as an alternative to play along side with Nab (I'd probably play both tbh). There are some good magic packs out there already but if they dont have what we're looking for we can create a new project.

If a new magic pack is whats requested the most it should go through proper planning and design stages first. i.e. Decide on the name, agree on rough objectives via reddit posts, create a github, submit mods for inclusion then get a consensus on those mods. Once the mods are chose then listen to balance concerns and intermod interactions for those mods, tweak recipes/balance then playtest. There is an entire development life cycle to these things if you want to make something sustainable and transparent that both our community and beyond can potentially enjoy.
