Dead Internet Theory is a Cy_borg adventure module that pits pvnks against an eldritch cult festering at the heart of a megachurch financial institution. Promises of digital rapture are betrayed by reports of disturbing fates met by unlucky customers.

Came across this piece of advice I saved for myself, on world-building.
Do you build a world like you build a doll's house? Or do you build a world at a person's size, for people to live in?
From Le Guin.
"... the pattern is incomplete ... Let the heart complete the pattern."

I will just comment briefly to say I’m aware of the republished book. I’d reiterate that Vaults of Vaarn is published under Creative Commons and the book text encourages you to remix, edit, reuse the content.
