Thystram likes to write about and analyze roleplaying games, the paleolithic table-top kind still extant in some corners of North America and Europe. Analysis begins with lysis, the breaking down of things into their constituent components. Thystram breaks things a lot so he must be good at analysis. After all, it only took him 37 years to get his Phytobotanometrics Degree (that’s the ‘Ph’ in PhD) and one small Great Disaster for his thesis to be proven correct.
Talislanta Incognita 
I love your blog! I’m a fan of fifth edition and third edition myself but, I give players what I consider a lot of freedom. Your blog has been very helpful.
Thanks! Glad you found some use for it in your game, and also glad that there are still people playing Talislanta today. Cheers!
