   I was thinking that there’s not only a maximum number of relationships, but also a minimum below which you start to lose touch with reality. With only your own point of view, you can become convinced by your own bullshit and everything becomes subjective. There’s a Solipsist rpg that goes into this.

   I did enjoy Piranesi but I thought it explained too much towards the end. The Course of the Heart, and TSLbtRA did this better.

   On the Tarot/Water point, I’m very much into thematic unity in games. Sometimes it’s explicit, such as Blake in my Trail game, and sometimes it’s implicit like Strong Women/Anima in my CoC d20 game. It’s a reminder to the players that they are Somewhere Else without having to state it overtly and bring them out of that place.

   “Music as always is by …”, PAT-reon/PAY-treon, I think someone is haunting you.

     Apologies, the inconsistent pronunciation is just me sub-contracting some of the work to my Alternate 731 version. Frankly we don’t agree on many things and I wonder why I keep him around
