Lol, Borders. I mean, you kind of had to, right?

Favourite details: "At least you have this tucked away in your jacket pocket" -- love that for the Dropout. Is it a flask? A gun? A phone? The ambiguity makes it shine. I also really dig "hello, my name is..." on the character sheet; it's a great thematic tie-in.

Would be nice to have: Some alternative paths of escape, maybe? It would be cool if addressing the book villains helped the players reach their goal, rather than just acting as something between them and the hiding Greg. But maybe I'm just saying that as someone who would try to break unbreakable windows!

Out of  curiosity -- why 2010?

Thanks!

I was thinking 2010 as that was roughly the period of the so named "bookstore apocalypse" in which several bookstores, including Borders, were collapsing under the sales slump from the recession and Amazon competition. 

Gotcha. Joke went right over my head, haha. 

I had a slightly different idea involving borders, but when I was looking up Borders and saw mention of a "bookstore apocalypse", that's what it had to be.
