A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Little Dima is anything but tiny. A major archery competition held at Finsbury in England in 1583 drew about 3,000 participants. The surprising part is how quickly the next milestone followed. Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
