A strange little side quest
If Star Wars Adventure 2014 sends you down a curiosity rabbit hole, start here. Humans did not see the Moon's far side until a Soviet spacecraft flew past it in 1959. That is only half the story. By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. That history is one reason familiar mechanics can still feel new when they are recombined well.
