The way this is described reminds me of a Renaissance painting, or an interpretative exegesis of one - great ponderance and existential flavour. Also ties in to the kind of grand motifs that underpin lore surrounding FFRPs like Hero Quest, which I know you've written about but haven't gotten around to looking at it yet.

Hey thanks for reading. I really appreciate the comparison to an interpretative exegesis of a Renaissance painting.

I guess it does tie into Hero Quest thematically. I hadn't realised that.

Maximilian, this is one of those thoughtful stories that deals with our choices and the alternate reality that might have been created had we made another choice. I love the thinking that went into this and made it new and fresh. Bravo!
