I was told I could have cool neon implants and brain-melting cyberdelic experiences by now, but, alas, all we have is faulty cloud storage and an artificial intelligence that can write like an unispired freshman, provided it can use as much power as a nuclear facility.

Even more, if every hook feels like handing a treasure map to your players you're probably doing an amazing job as a GM.

Bloodborne is all about giving into the bloodlust and the search for forbidden truth. It's quite eery and beautiful if you lean into the gothic style and mindset.

Great books in my field, history, are usually about a specific topic but with broad implications for our comprehension of ourselves and our present. They also take position, so allow for debate. We are not peddlers of universal truths, but contextual enlightment.

I'm here for the manuscripts rant, as a historian myself we don't hear enough of those (and I hear plenty).
