This is definitely true for me. Leiber was a terrific influence, both as a fantasy writer and an sf writer. Genius, and now virtually out of print.

That Other American Tolkien
When I was a child, the novels of Fritz Leiber were way more important to me than The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings. If anything Tolkien was the British Leiber

![4-panel comic. (1) [Teacher with medium-length hair talking to students at desks.] TEACHER: Modern physics rests on three main pillars: General relativity, which describes very massive objects, (2) TEACHER: quantum mechanics, which describes very small objects, (3) TEACHER: and hyperacute interdynamics, which describes objects 10-30cm in size and 200-700g in mass. (4) STUDENT [from off-panel]: That last one seems kind of limited. TEACHER: Yeah, but over its domain, it’s *really* precise. Absolutely *nails* squirrels and grapefruit. Someday we hope to unify it with the other two.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreiafobst5ppqa3jchutqacu7lzalrmtw3djlf5oprwn57fzzrfpv4y@jpeg)

They just re-launched the original Guild Wars today. Also a free update for anyone with the original game, and they've made the expansions just a free part of the package.
Still no other game like it. Not really an MMO, but rather a linear, mission-based action-RPG deckbuilder, with optional bots.

I take on average 10,000 stills and a half hour of video every week. Most I'll never think about again. This I'll hold onto until I grow old. 4 hours ago.
Zero edits. No recoloring. No cropping. Nothing. Just straight up reality. 🦑

Cool free stuff alert: They're giving away the base version of Warhammer: Vermintide 2 this weekend.
Really good co-op first-person brawler about the world's most dysfunctional friend group fighting through the ratpocalypse.
There's some decent DLC but they've added a LOT for free over the years.

Ah, interesting - they're doing a slightly polished up re-release of the original Guild Wars (with all expansions built in) - out in a couple weeks for $20.
Always good to see legacy games like this getting some love. Especially as there's still nothing like the OG Guild Wars. One of a kind game.
