I just wanted to say that this was both a fun story and a nice trip down memory lane.
And I'd also like to thank you for your book on ZZT. I wasn't a part of that community, but I made and played a lot of stuff. I also participated in other late-90s social scenes with similar dynamics.
I feel really seen, both by that book and this game.
