Jeff Franzmann, also known as Canticle, is a Canadian author. He wrote a column titled "Single Card Strategies" and invented Gleemax, a fictional brain-in-a-jar that supposedly controls R&D.
Career
Single Card Strategies was initially self-published on Usenet, and later carried in several issues of The Duelist. More than 80 of Franzmann's columns were collected into Single Card Strategies for Magic: The Gathering, a book published in 1996. Philip Kramer and Beth Moursund are credited as co-authors. Franzmann framed his columns in short fiction, for which he invented the plane of Torwynn and included his personal character, Canticle.[1]
Franzmann created the character Gleemax in a sarcastic response to a Usenet thread asking whether "there [is] a brain behind" R&D.[2]
