Kainenchen pointed out that the veytikka and the beruch are both written as minorities in a human society, which is another part of what brought up the whole topic of unfamiliar races and how races are used in games that we’ve been talking about off and on for the past couple […]
Since my last post, Kainenchen and the Wombat Warlord (which could be the title of a kind of awesome YA novel, I think) have each written extensive posts on topics related to mine. As they’ll be relevant to any further posts I make on this topic, I wanted to post […]
For the past several weeks, I’ve been involved in relatively frequent conversations on a related set of topics with Kainenchen, Samhaine, the Wombat Warlord, and this guy.
