Water winds up having a bigger symbolic role than it does in the book, even. Good choice

The bare fact that such thing exists now gives me hope. Thank you!

Just like with how I used to run character creation, people can say what they like but then it has to, like I think you're say, meet the fiction on its terms, which may require negotiation or even a "no" to keep things consistent. Also, "cool" has to pay at least some respect to the shared world

I think it's meant by some to push against the idea that established rules should be a wall that forces players to follow behind the GM, in a sort of systematic railroading that leads to fatalistic and bleak outcomes, discouraging creativity. But on its face it can easily be misused/gamed

I need to revisit it, I wonder if my impressions would change. I remember at the time feeling like it was credulous toward Andre's explorations but maybe that was me expecting the movie to take his side...

This is great :)

In the file name for the image there's the word "roses"

I'll live, but I hate that I just scrolled through the files not really paying attention and now that partial memory of file names is all I remember, apart from a couple of files

Mostly just admin stuff, backups. But it's like a hole was put in my brain

Cool :)

Also happy that I now know how to pronounce their name

Armadillos?

In the year 5634, they finally found a planet with life-sustaining properties like their homeworld. Unfortunately, millennia of evolution aboard their arkships had rendered the planet uninhabitable to them. To quote their Great Leader:

"Well...shit."

Well, I'm invested

I would have guessed ant lion but this sounds way too big and the wrong kind of soil, maybe... and possibly the wrong part of Earth

Anyway, I'm invested

Excellent :)

Depends on how much latitude you're willing to give it

You can have my sun. It says it's done with me for the year
