Really unique concept. I am using the original war of the worlds book and have started with erasing all of the space words.

Very curious how this will end up, at what point will there be more black than words on a page? Essentially boils down to how many unique words books have and what words you choose. I recon this will go much quicker when you start with words like "The" and "it" but this will also empty my marker quicker so you could even look at it as a resource management game? Feels like a stretch but I really like the concept, fun entry!

There's also the question of how you choose to end the game, right? You could put the book and journal down when you decide to end it, and that's that. You could stop taking words, but finish blanking out the ones you've already taken. Or maybe you decide that the book heals, and slowly gains words back, so it's like a waxing and waning of the emptiness inside the tome?

Yeah I like the book slowely healing, you could also replace some of the words if you have Tipp-Ex and like the book is trying to heal itself but misremembering what it used to be. Very poetic!
