Not sure if this is something for r/dataisugly or r/dataisbeautiful. You decide. – I’ve been wondering how all the sections in the Fabled Lands game book series connect. So, I wrote a little Python script and extracted the individual links between the sections in all seven books. This is what the result looks like.

  2. “DataIsBeautiful is for visualizations that effectively convey information,” and this is conveying zero information to me. (!sidebar)
