Is this what Tizzy has in his head? (Got mail from China today!)

The books call to Fog of War, as well.

The inventor of the armed drone is much more deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize than Henry Kissinger.To mentally escape an interminable meeting, I was picking at the Astlan universe’s weaknesses yesterday.
The principal problem is that the technological and social development in the various interlinked worlds in the localverse are too close to each other, taking into consideration that other actors speak of personal experience spans counted in hundreds of thousands of years. It’s just too convenient to be plausible.
However, if you look at things from a different angle, and consider the classification of worlds into hightech, medium tech and low tech, if the gods’ mana and animus parasitism actually is the central theme, gods are able to suck enough mana out of a world that it does not regenerate quickly enough for them, and the gods tend to forcefully keep the still mana-rich worlds at a lower technological development level, the real adventure would be the liberation of sapients from these parasites.
The gods would naturally keep the worlds they are leeching off in their nets, interlinked, drop them when they become unviable, and thus they get their chance to become high tech.
Perhaps Mount Doom is really a device to lessen the mana income inequality across the worlds. Mana to the people!
Forces of Lite vs. Forces of Deliciousness?
Mr. Buttah, Hilda, Trisfelt and I will certainly be in one corner, but the other? The Church of Tiernon seemed a bit ascetic.
Nonetheless, when smoothing out the wrinkles in the relationship between your populace and yourself, an external enemy does come in handy. If a teenager can’t see this, certainly a bard can.
[quote=Tizzy;3246]Well technically I suppose it would be more correct to say that Doom showed up on their doorstep and not the other way around.[/quote]

There’s a reason why for a few years now, unless you’re a huge consumer site, going with Bootstrap is the only thing that makes sense. https://getbootstrap.com/css/
Yeah, legacy CMS and EIM platforms aren’t necessarily equipped to handle standards other than the vendor’s, since that wouldn’t facilitate lock-in.
Why not dump this problem in the lap of your fans? Spec what you want to accomplish, and then have then plan and execute the project, for example, to move your content from a CMS to a static generator and a de-facto standard framework such as Bootstrap. Your forums to http://www.discourse.org/. Or whatever your priorities are.
OK. While we’re at it, could I stay logged in to the site permanently, please?
Apropos, a number of indie authors aren’t as technically savvy as yourself – does Amazon or somebody provide them with a “How to set up your literary web presence” pamphlet or something, or are they at the mercy of any passing huckster?
I mean, if you’re a starving artist, AWS services such as Route 53, S3 and CloudFront would pretty much provide you with everything you need for setting up a static site for a buck or two a month.
WrapBoostrap.com will sell you an excellent add-your-own-photos-and-content theme for a cool twenty bucks.
I’ve seen a number of authors complain about their hosting bills, or the time required to set up their presence. They can’t be getting good advice.
