@maiamindel@bidonica1 Saw a tweet once that said “George Lucas was influenced by Westerns, Samurai movies, Saturday matinee serials, eastern philosophy, the heroes journey and Arthurian legend, and he made Star Wars. JJ Abrams was influenced by Star Wars and he made a shittier Star Wars”
basically every form of anything has that problem, the simpsons is now written by people whose only background is in watching the simpsons, snl with snl, star wars with star wars, pop music with pop music

Salutations, Cesspool of Tweets. Leave Chuck Wendig alone. Focus your energy on supporting libraries, retention of our memories and, I don't know, improving openstreetmap or something. Anything that gets you off the screens.
This sucks. At some point in time, we'll have chunks of history and entertainment completely inaccessible because of bad events like this one.

@threelinestudio Purchased these awhile back and enjoyed reading through them. Lots of interesting ideas — I especially recommend Gargax’s Gewgaws, as it contains a great assortment of Magic Items with some depth to them — depth I find lacking in the majority of item codices on the market.
