Thank you ever so much for your thorough and thoughtful response.
I'm truly touched by your kind words and emotional experience.
My intention with the statement that caused confusion was not to disparage any of the things I mentioned, but rather, both my own confusion as to what this is and the nature of micro/ nano RPGs and lyric games, while thoroughly enjoying them, and that a huge aspect of this as a game/ experience was my connecting with RatGrrrl and actually making something. Kinda one of those things that fulfils its purpose simply by existing, so anything anyone else gets from it and kind words like yours are a very welcome and humbling bonus.
I hope that helps, and I totally appreciate the intro/ outro give context that might stretch the 12-Word RPG bounds a bit.
Thank you ever so much x
