taletellers and dreamers, or a game that doesn't exist

Once upon a time there was a writer who wrote a story game that doesn't exist. Those were strange times, and it was an act for a strange time. But nonetheless, it happened, for all things are possibly in universe as wide as the one we find ourselves within.

Perhaps this was an act of revolution, throwing off the shackles that demand a thing to in fact exist to have value. Or perhaps it was no more than madness, just another small irrational act amidst the ruinous end of empire. From such a great distance, how are we to be sure, and why should we even care?

It's interesting, but a bit impenetrable and I'm not even sure it's really a game.

After reading through it, I'm fascinated.
It is most certainly a game, it just approaches thing from a very different direction.
It's very similar to what I've been aiming toward with my Brigaki Djili project.
I think I'll give it a play through, just to see how it works in practice.

Very interesting, though I'm not sure how 'play' happens once the Seed is created... I think I do, but I'm not sure... An example, mayhaps?
