Tomb of Annihilation Review Part 3: World Building
This has been one of the hardest posts I’ve written to date, largely because it kept opening up entirely new venues of examination and thought.

I’ve talked about this in the past, and the problem remains as much as it ever has, but why, even with so much outcry? [1][2]
