    AVOID Intel 13th gen and up CPUs as they are affected by microcode / manufacturing defect issues.

    Not disagreeing as you're clearly correct here, but adding some nuance in case anyone else comes in here and, like me, gets worried because they have a 13th gen - from what I've found online, this problem is exclusive to desktop models and the laptop models (like mine) are unaffected.

    Again, your comment is absolutely relevant for OP since they're likely going to build a desktop. Just wanted to attach this note for others like me.

    Small correction since people are referencing the number elsewhere in the thread: unless I'm missing some hidden cost that you're accounting for, ultimate is 30 USD/month, not 35. Still ridiculous.

    Yep, Dungeon Scrawl + Wonderdraft (which you mentioned in another comment) are two thirds of my mapping combo for my game. I make the world and region maps in Wonderdraft and then scrappy battle maps in Dungeon Scrawl. I also use Watabou's Procgen Arcana for cities and towns.
