I read this over dinner today, wow it's very well written, all the story options are very interesting. I particularly like the different kinds of merchants, I was already picturing them in my head. I didn't write my own story this time, but I really enjoyed reading the options and then seeing how they came together in the end in your example.

Honestly I do the same thing with the few solo-rpgs I've seen (and I guess most TTRPGs that I get in like humble bundles) - I just imagine a bit what the world and gameplay would be, and that's usually enough for me, so for my work to provide the same thing, not playing the game but conjuring up some ideas and visuals, is all I really need haha
