For me #shadowdark has been transformational in the way I game. It fully enables the OSR concept of "Rulings not Rules" by being so minimalist and well conceived.

Decided I would customize Yog-Sothoth's name for my setting in a similar fashion that Clark Ashton Smith did for his Averoigne stories.
