On the fundamental level, the job of a critic is to dissect a creation -- a cruel occupation -- that can embellish or shatter a person's vision. But despite what they do, critics only do it out of a genuine love for art. Without this passion, the drive to pick something apart and see how it functions would not exist. So this is a personal thank you to all those out there who have created something. Whether you are a living legend like Gary Gygax (pictured above), or just a dungeon master for this game, you are a creator; and that impacts the world around you. Every indecipherable doodle, crappy poem, garbage fan fiction, flawed RPG system, cliched narrative, Soundcloud rap or any stupid idea is new and exciting. It may not work on the fundamental level. It may not ever become as great as you intend it to be: a timeless classic bringing millions of people joy every day. But it is yours, and that is something to be proud of. You should never stop creating. It is humanity's greatest strength. Not everyone will like it, for art is subjective. But for those who don't love your art there will always be those who do, maybe even as much as you do. For all of time there has been a genuine love for all types of art, whether from one person or one million people. Contribution to the greatest umbrella term, "art", is a feat worthy of respect. Though your skill may not be honed it is a skill nonetheless. So no matter what we critics say, you are creating, and thus adding to a concept greater than all of us. Thank you.
