This ruleset has got me freshly inspired in my own game design. I can't give it enough praise. This is an "aha!" moment, a breakthrough in practical simplicity. I love crunchy games, and I'm finding it easy to apply harder mechanics to this system. Thank you so much for making this, it's clearly had a huge impact on the solo community - I see people talking about it pretty often. Admittedly the fact it exists, and the popularity of it, also feels like permission to play games in my head without feeling like I'm weird or wasting time, it means a lot to me. I haven't done that since I was just a kid with a passion for design. I got hit hard by "you have to grow up". Thanks for giving me a bit of childhood purity. <3

Thank you very much, your words are really touching and they mean a lot. Those feelings you describe about playing pretend are all too common. I have to give myself permission to play sometimes! I'm glad Diedream resonates with you.
