For sure an updated version will include an intro that puts the ideas into perspective!
I favored cutting it to fit the page limit and pack the other concepts in a clear way.
It's right to say that this is almost system agnostic, but it was designed with Shadowdark in mind and I pushed myself to stay true to the game's approach to rule writing, layout and gameplay loop, hoping it could go side by side with the original manual.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!
