This is such a cool idea!
OK, my brain is working on a million other things while I am trying to work on a main thing, so lemme share this thought so I can focus.
I think it would be really dope to "formalize" stitching together different games systems to tell stories.

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.
But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?

Reminder for artists: don't get blinded by the "big number" for an art project. Remember to do the math.
$3,000 for a tarot card desk *sounds* great. But in reality you're only being paid $38.46 per artwork. And if each artwork takes 20 hours to make, you're getting paid $1.92/hr
