It's Study Time!

A quick glance through the The Tower reveals a sizable list of threads marked Specialist Study. What are these, and why should you spend the time to take a look?

Specialist Study is Tower-speak for any thread outside of the term threads and dorms. They are where like-minded 'Claws gather to discuss specific areas of interest in more detail...and 'Claws have A LOT of interests.

In the coming weeks, I'll be featuring some of these Specialist Studies in more detail, but here's a list for quick reference. You can click on the name to open the thread in a new tab.
