I'm so glad you found lots to think about with this playbook! It's the least popular in terms of hits of the ones I've made, but it's actually my favorite. I have a lot of feelings about the Ex-Martyr and I'm just so happy you took the time to tell me all about your experience building one.

Yeah! Careful about worrying too much over hits, it'll drive you nuts (I say, as someone who totally worries over hits haha) I have a lot of feelings about this archetype too- like I said, Steve Rogers, but I also have a soft spot for characters who came back so different that the people around them have to wrestle with whether they still know this person at all. As I kind of implied, I very much know it can be a lot to deal with when you go through something big and are kind of left with a clean slate and no idea what to do next. Not like I actually almost died, I just had a weird life event, but it kind of feels the same.
