Right down to some people just *refusing* to stay dead

I believe this. I mean this is halfway to Classic Trav. Different gear list, but same concept.

I love those lol

And I think you can get good pressures at the other end of the spectrum, where players have a lot of resources but need to use them effectively, and face trade-offs for doing so

I guess there just needs to be a harm to *not* spending spending money if money is meaningful

O/U had both

I think this is one of the reasons "strongholds" as a concept keep coming back in D&D-descended games. Everyone loves building their dream clubhouse with their friends

You need two things:
1. A strong, foundational *need* you spend your money, that you have to spend your money on
2. Either other stuff players would want to spend their fake money on, or the flexibility to let players invent stuff to spend money on

My personal theory, as someone who does something like accounting in real life and is a spreadsheet-game freak, is that most coin-counting and shopping in most games is basically cargo cult economics

I think you're right

Honestly it feels like a return to the freewheeling early days, before everyone was exhausted

I do find it so funny that I got a bunch of new followers from O/U when I do, basically, 0 Mothership stuff

(I do my fair share of sci-fi and horror tho)

Are we destined to conflict in every universe? 😔

Wish we could have interacted more. Even the one little run-in we had was its own kind of fun

The good prophecy happened and the bad prophecy didn't lmao

This is amazing work, and I think you're absolutely right. A faction's ability to get organized was its key asset.

And I'm posting here because I love the tease and I love the drama of it.

Thank Sol he made it out alive. It got hairy in there!

Precisely. You get it

Very true!

Ultimately I'm really happy someone who worked so hard to facilitate so much community across the Dream was rewarded with a (sort of) immortality

I can already see the photo montages of "Summer Memories" set to Muse's "Uprising"

You are the true MVP of O/U, you deserve the gold metal
