Default Re: History of the Multiverse, Part 1

I was referring to the other Johan, Johan.

But...I do agree with you, in part. I like things to be ambiguous, vague, surreal even. BUT...NOT pitch black.

There's a whole lot of material that can be added, and background information suppliments the imagination.

To use Tolkien for example-tons of background on every aspect of Middle Earth, and yet, it still inspired hundreds of thousands of people to imagine, and a respectable percentage of those to create their own universes in that same model.

You can't convince me that happened because their imaginations were being stunted by Tolkien's encyclopedic background.

And with Dominions, you can offer atleast 50 or 60 different perspectives, one for each nation, on the objective history. Probably a lot more than that, and each one relatively valid.
