The strongest fairy in all of Gensokyo. Him/his. Vague leftist politics, tabletop games, anime bullshit, and swords, but mostly other peoples' posts.

Ok enough politics lets talk more tabletop gaming dumbfuckery!!!!!
D&D IS BA- ok no it's not just that, but instead let's talk about about "old school" D&D and how it's actual heirs are found more in the indie games scene rather then both modern D&D and (most of) the OSR
"Old school" D&D is a lot of things, because it wasn't...I don't want to say it "wasn't written well" because *nothing* is made well in ANY hobby in it's formative years, and I'm trying to be generous. I'll instead say it was made scattershot.

So in an effort to diversify my feed and possibly not make this ENTIRE twitter account just angry politics, here's why I talked about that medieval bullshit earlier: because high fantasy is boring, and literal real life medieval bullshit is more interesting.
High fantasy is often endless reiterations of the same "save the world from an ancient encrouching evil" storyline. And like, I get why. It's not always for GOOD reasons, but I get why.
