You might get some use out of Avery Alder’s Abnormal, a GMless RPG for 1–3 players (yes, solo play is supported) about a person who’s slowly being eaten alive by some unnatural force. It’s a good one if you ever wanted to play out a really angsty, fucked up version of Venom, among other things. Content warnings for body horror, both gameplay-wise and in the visuals – seriously, don’t even click the link if that’s an issue for you!
I've just made a pirate deck based around Revel in Riches. That card has a couple of notes on gatherer - regarding the fourth one specifically: should we consider that a rule, or more what you'd call a 'guideline?' :p
It’s a guideline, but please revel responsibly.
On blue transform I think that people's opinions on it might skew with their preferred format. In standard, modern and legacy a vanilla 2/2 or 3/3 can block or trade with many aggro creatures or threaten cards like pyromancer or monastery mentor. There is a cost to using as removal. In commander a vanilla 3/3 is nothing, making Pongify and Hybridization colour shifted Swords and Path. It fits flavour but you've repeatedly said blue removal should be counters or only tempo plays.
I finally get it. It’s not a color pie issue. It’s a Commander format issue. We don’t control Commander, so you want to talk to the team that oversees it and talk to them about the need to possibly ban some of the more egregiously (for the format) pushed transformation cards.
If a player casts a spell with an additional life cost taking them to zero, do they die before it counts as cast or does the spell go on the stack (triggering applicable effects, eg Rhystic Study), then they die as state-based actions are checked?
As soon as they finish casting the spell, they lose the game when state-based actions are checked. The spell was cast and cards like Rhystic Study will still trigger, though.
Question about Immerwolf: the line "Non-Human Werewolves you control can't transform" means the transform trigger still goes onto the stack and still resolves, it simply has no effect, correct? So, say I have Immerwolf and two non-human werewolves on the battlefield, a player cast 2 spells in the last turn: the trigger still goes on the stack and removing the Immerwolf in response would transform them? Conversely if you could somehow flash in the wolf the trigger would resolve but do nothing?
This is all correct, yes.
Say you have 9 cards in hand at end step and therefore have to discard 2. Does this count as one instance of discarding or two separate triggers (sort of a discard 1, now are you down to 7? no? repeat)? I assume the first, but I was thinking about the new legendary Gitrog and realized I didn't actually know for sure.
You discard all at once.
If you discarded two lands to go to 7 cards, the Gitrog Monster would only trigger once and you’d draw one card. (And then there would be another cleanup step, etc. See the post on Gitrog for details.)

Hahahaha. Exceptional!
I am going to a games weekend in a few months that will culminate in a 20+ person “Grand Melee” MtG match. Each melee has a special stipulation (such as singleton format, decks cannot contain creature spells, so on) and this year is is Pauper. Due to its power in multiplayer (though in the melee you can only affect players within 2 spaces of you) and the efficiency of the commons I am expecting a lot of Extort. Can you think of any decent way of combating that, or of any other effective multiplayer pauper archetypes that might crop up?

Two great ways to combat extort are to play an aggressive deck (since extort is geared towards piecing together incremental advantage over a long game), and to play effective removal (since extort is always attached to a permanent, generally a creature). If you can either burn them out before they can stabilize, or get rid of all of their extort cards, you should be in good shape.
In terms of archetypes, I really can't help you. If there's really no restriction other than "pauper" then you're potentially looking at a widely varied pool of decks. I have no idea what you might expect.
If any of my followers know anything about multiplayer pauper archetypes, feel free to weigh in!
