Revision as of 14:53, 12 October 2009
Tee Gee sometimes gets bright ideas about "original" settings and ideas which sometimes turn out to be awesome. However, due to the fa/tg/uys' inherent laziness (due to the intake of large quantities of meatbread) these project rarely come to any sort of fruition. Nevertheless, everyone knows that /tg/ gets shit done.
See also Homebrew Settings.
What are homebrews?
A "homebrew" is an unofficial, DIY modification, adaptation, setting or entire game made by the players themselves and not by the industry or professional developers. It is not intended for publication or wide distribution although in the age of internet people often share their work with others who might appreciate it.
Sage for Homebrew
A habit of lazy trolls whenever anyone posts a thread about a homebrew project or setting. If the lazy troll is determined he will repeatedly sage the thread and incite rage from those trying to get shit done.
