    I don’t think it’s a cop out at all. It’s a very good start and I appreciate the work and the quote. It sets me to thinking of a monstrous demigod by the name of Na’scrivas I’ve had rattling around for some time (I made an anagram of scrivener and changed a few letters. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy a good apostrophe in a fantasy setting.). It’s takes the form of a journal that makes its contents a reality at the cost of slowly detaching the writer further and further from reality. The idea is that by the end of the story the reader should question how much of it actually happened, and how much was simply the protagonist going mad.

      Thank you!

      If you get anything together for na’scrivas, I’d love to see it! I love all the sharing of world building that the internet has brought to the hobby. So many different groups will interact with the same NPCs or locations because their GM saw a post about them online and I think that’s so cool. Really adds to the shared language and community of the hobby.
