@jmac I'm still thinking about this weeks later. Not about the game itself -- I've played it and watched videos and meh, nowadays there are tons of better dungeon crawlers out there. But I'm obsessed maybe with the abstract promise of the dungeon crawl plus novel-length manual/flavor bible.

What's especially silly is that I'm currently playing Tears of the Kingdom which hits all the notes I want from a dungeon crawler, and does so really well. I'm living the dream but I'm still dreaming.
