Brian S. Stephan 1d0d489ad2
remove a lot of the OG extra content and similar references
these are things that are not included in my version because they're
homebrew, because they are a lot of writing/creativity that I don't feel
comfortable stealing/distributing, or so on

this includes ideas that I like, but either plan to write my
own way in the future, or again I just don't feel comfortable copying
verbatim, especially if, for instance, I have my own process and don't
need to advocate for a different one
