How it plays
- You choose, the story answers. Each turn you get a few choices, or you write your own move.
- Real stats, real dice. Risky moves are checked against what your character is good at, and you see the odds before you roll.
- People remember. The characters you meet keep track of what you did, and the story grows with you.
