Today we gnash our teeth over the growing trend of “homogenization” of our once-great “Friendly Local Game Shops” (FLGS). By this we mean the trend of on-shelf RPG selections dwindling to scant pale shadows of their former glory, simultaneous with their previous varieties being hacked and slashed down to just 5E, Pathfinder, maybe Warhammer (if we’re lucky), and 50 variants of Kids on Bikes. In this era where Magic the Gathering and D&D 5E are the law of the land, we old-timers must now find our glimmers of gaming goodness on the dark, cobweb-strewn corners of the internet, such as this one.
