Big, messy, complicated fairy/dragon/dnd game, February 3, 2016

In this game, you play a tall, slim, handsome man (who is truly a fairy), hanging out with other attractive men and women adventurers with the attempt to keep them from your treasure.

The game is vast, and only the things the author thought up themselves are implemented (i.e. if you don't do exactly what they want, then nothing happens). You can 'summon' or 'create' just about anything, and shapechange.

There are a lot of NPCs, and extensive conversations/textdumps, but the game is buggy.

Fun to play around with, but not fun to try to beat.

Just so you know, that is to be expected from a John Evans game. Highly ambitious, gimmicky and novel; makes you wish you could actually play the thing. Alas, you can't, because it's broken. It applies to pretty much all of his games.

To enjoy a John Evans game is to be able to appreciate what he wanted to do, and what he partially achieved. If you actually try to play the thing, though, you'll certainly enjoy it less.
