Watching "The American Revolution" by Ken Burns, on @PBS.
There is something so comforting and delightful about Burns' series; they are so well documented, well edited, and informative.
This one is also a good reminder about the founding principles of this country.

This. TTRPGs are potatoes, friends.

#Ttrpgs are potatoes, not carrots. There is no one true taproot origin story for any game, ttrpg or otherwise. Instead, all the nodes of experience & culture & family & etc etc go into whatever eventually springs forth. The interconnected web of all that came before contributes to whatever is "new."
