The Artisanal Cycle

In the future, resources will be so abundant that all the cool guys will have hand-crafted gear that will make stripping corpses worthwhile again. Then, the fights over the stripped stuff, and a new epoch of heroes.

Back to Basics

Some works become discussed so much the participants come to know the work as discussed rather than the work as written, which can be something else entirely. How many people think the Iliad had a wooden horse in it or are sure The Lord of the Rings is long? How many people remember that time King Arthur conquered the Roman Empire? Even the Romans didn't remember that.

That's why we should read the works as written from time to time and come to fresh conclusions, such as this: Arthurian stories are much better when Lancelot isn't in them.
