That was definitely not intended as an undertone.

"Book jacket teaser text" is a good analogy for what it is and how it reads. For better or worse, RPG scenario designers think of...

I just pre-ordered "Hands of the White Wizard," the latest TOR supplement from Free League. I don't actually play TOR anymore, so I...

Yeah, this is the right idea. (I'd still like to see more game-talk in it, but my memory of Trophy suggests there's not much to the...

This is such a weird criticism. The point of sharing that image was not to suggest that it's a perfect map in every imaginable way, but...
