Requiem For Google+

Well, it's finally happened. After much sound and fury, the Google+ social media experiment is officially over. Being something of a late adopter to things like this I was only on for the last couple years, but during that time I saw a number of informative, amusing or useful things, some of which I was able to salvage:



Attributed to Will McClean
Three posts about the fiasco surrounding RPGRundit's Lion & Dragon on DriveThru.

The Tenkar's Tavern list of free Fantasy OSR rulesets.

A history of the Pulp Revolution, an OSR-adjacent literary movement.

An article about how the DeLorean could have survived as the Healey Gullwing of the Dunmurry Motor Company.

A list of 20 space-related urban legends and conspiracy theories.

Travis Corcoran's acceptance speech for the 2018 Prometheus Award for libertarian science fiction,

Some ideas for making Dungeons & Dragons-type games play more like The Hobbit.





An article about homemade dungeon maps, including one made entirely of jello.

Going forward, I don't know that I'll be in a hurry to sign up with MeWe or another such replacement site. Honestly, I enjoy the longer form of forum (I'm particularly fond of the RPG Pub) and blog posts more, anyway. But then, you never know what might be coming down the line . . .
