Why I Have to Do This… Again

Because my fantastic list of tools I found on Free Media, Heck Yeah got deleted (because that was on my feddit.online account, which was deleted for no reason I was given), I’ll have to do this again. If you have any more recommendations, then I’d be happy to add them here.

A list of writing tools for those who are unaware, or want to try something out:

From two lists: the RPG Worldbuilding tools and the writing tools, these were discovered by myself and Neigsendoig (my producer, who goes by Sendo). New tools were likely added recently since we took a look at this.
