    On Exploration

    In SotC, I liked getting fruit and shooting lizards. The banality of needing to hunt for nourishment in order to better face your challenges seemed right at home in this world. Remember the Neverending Story? The feel that there was true trials in a hard world for everyone was palpable, and I...
