All in all these books are some of the absolute best SF/space opera out there, taking in both big picture politics and the everyday concerns of factions and people on many different worlds.

Their words
if your ttrpg advertises a ‘medieval world’ then it should be less ‘riding a dragon over a flying island to fight demon hordes’ and more ‘knowing when the feast day of your guild’s patron saint is.’

A Mission of GravityTheir words
A Mission of Gravity is one of those older stories, it’s from the mid 1950s, and it’s one of those I was aware of for a long time, because it is talked about a great deal – and very justifiably.

Claims that autism is all overdiagnosis and fakery are gaslighting.

A tabletop RPG advertising a medieval world should be less about dragons and demon hordes and more about details like guild feast days.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
