For the past two weeks-ish, I've been chewing away at a SUUUPER satisfying topic. I went on one of my youtube rabbit holes and learned about Vancian Magic. I knew that's where the DnD reference was from, I just didn't learn the context. So I ended up learning about and really digging Dying Earth. Which got me to the question: "How would I do my version of a DnD Wizard?" 2 weeks later, I've hacked out 20 pages of "Old School DnD that pays homage to 'so far in the future the scifi went back around to being fantasy again'", complete with twists on the solid Knave system. It's been exhausting hyperfixating on this, but feeling this world evolve while also adding in elements that make me happy is gratifying too.
