I really thought about writing this list, but on some quiet reflection, most of the people don't deserve the attention or the fresh ammunition against me. But now it's a funny clickbait title behind a paywall, so that's a fun experiment to run.As an apology for the deceit, here's a ...

What Does A Swords TTRPG Need To Be, To You?
I tried to start a TTRPG Swords: Pens & Papercuts a while ago, but a lot of things happened in between. People still seem to want something in this space though so I figure "Why not start from 0 and ask what problem people want solved in a fantasy TTRPG, before deciding if I want to start it up...
