Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Baffler likes silver, walnut trees, the color green, tanzanite, and dogs for their loyalty. When possible he prefers to consume beef, iced tea, and cornbread. He absolutely detests ticks.

Monte Carlo simulated, step-in fantasy novel. Physics, ethics and psychology not quite like ours.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

Due to a modding error, I once got sieged by an army of toads lead by a pyromancer. Not toadmen, not giant toads, but toads. The kind cats murder.

Generate world.  Adventure.  Kill monsters.  Manage workers.  Mine.  Collect.  Produce.  Design.  Construct.  Defend.  Discover.  Dig too deep.  Die.  Repeat.
