So early last year, I was browsing a forum which had a lot of blue and gray to its layout. So while I was staring at that page, I suddenly thought of Steam game Achievements. Their badges are pretty gray, right? Trust me, it fits.
So then I thought of tabletop roleplaying games and all of the wonderful times I've had with them. Something inside my meaty brain clicked, and behold: Tabletop Gamer Achievements! Marvel at them with your gaming troupe! Award them to your friends in recognition of their accomplishments! You might as well see how many you yourself have unlocked, while you're at it.
