"THE GREAT GAME," Part Five-The Great Game ends. The board is flipped. The pieces go to pieces. Can anyone play on?
"THE GREAT GAME," Part Four
"Hey, Stephanie, shall we do DIE's take on the big battles in Return of the King?"
"Sure thing, Kieron. Can you add some big emotional messy beats to the visual splendor?"
"Sure thing!"
"THE GREAT GAME," Part Three "War isn't a game" seems obvious. Let one of DIE's most aggressive masters explain:
i) why that isn't true
ii) that war being a game only makes it worse.
Can our heroes save the world? Can they save anything?
"THE GREAT GAME," Part Two-Designer Sid Meier described games as a series of interesting decisions. "May you live in interesting times" is a curse. Both things are true, and both are true here.
NEW STORY ARC
"THE GREAT GAME," Part One
Half the party is ruling a whole empire. The other half is on the run. Neither has it easy. There is nothing easy in this game, especially when the stakes get shockingly real. The most epic arc of DIE begins as it means to go on: messily.
END OF STORY ARC
"SPLIT THE PARTY," Conclusion
Forget escaping DIE.
