Zhenya’s is a step down because it tells you what to free play towards, and Desperation another step down because the choice it asks you to make is SO narrow.

Waiting as long as I did to edit so that I could have this experience while editing is probably what made it possible to get the thing done!

Largely I’m just excited to be in more direct community with more people making cool rpg adjacent stuff. Community building has been the best thing in my life for years now, and this is a great step towards more of it.
