Tribute to the Table

Martin over at Treasure Tables announced the likely end to the TT blog. This marks the end of an era, and I wanted to pause for a moment of silence at this passing.

Treasure Tables was one of the inspirations behind stupidranger.com. Dante, Vanir and I all enjoyed reading TT, and we learned that we had stories and advice of our own to share. Without Martin, we likely wouldn't be here today.

Treasure Tables offered a wealth of knowledge and advise for the DMs of the world. And even as a player, I enjoyed reading Martin's articles and the comments from the great community of readers.

Martin, if you're reading this, thank you for the hours of work you put into TT. I can only imagine how difficult it was to maintain daily posts for so long, and I commend you for sticking with it as long as you did. Thanks for all your support in our early days, and I wish you the best of luck!
