Create a website that is focused on tabletop roleplaying games. The company is referred to as "Dizzy Wizard Publishing" and the person running the website is referred to as either the "Dizzy Wizard" or simply "Dizzy". The site should allow the owner to both sell ttrpg products they make, write a blog about their ideas on ttrpg systems and the community as a whole, and propagate and perpetuate the idea that 5e is not the best system and that there are many others worth playing. - Initial Deployment
