Appendix New Arcade

This is a collection of things that have served as inspiration and influences for my work, both released and unreleased, as well as Rakhasim, my paracosm. It is not a complete list, and will likely never be considered fully complete. The "Elements, Themes, and Topics of Interest" section is especially incomplete.
