you, the reader, learn about the cruel setting by experiencing the stories of multiple characters, each with a fate sealable by random dice rolls. the lucky may get far, but only with the help of the attentive, the experienced, and the creative readers will it be possible to guide characters.. further.expect tragedy. expect death. expect glory. but remember: only the wise know how little they know.  this fiction is purely for my own fun and with the hope to have readers participate in the story and influence it with choices, the ultimate goal being to spark discussion that lead to reader's own comments rather than having choices be presented. a sort of choose-your-adventure roguelike if you will, but with real characters on the line -- …or what's it to you..episodes to be released semi- to bi-weekly.
