No more elves and kobolds.
And all the sea were ink,
And all the trees were bread and cheese,
I'd still play Dungeon Crawl.
If it doesn't fit anywhere else, it belongs here. Also, come here if you just need to get hammered.

"Uniqueness" is not the most valuable thing in the world, and chasing it above all else is not a good idea.
