I wanted to share the project I've been mulling over for a bit, and decided to start now.
Going through the Acknowledgements of different tabletop games to find their inspiration and to see how long it takes for it to peter out.
I have a long long way to go.
I think I'm mostly interested in Mechanical inspiration, so I will treat video games as Termination points.
I was going to do authors, but those aren't mechanics based and finding inspiration for those might be a pain.
