The Princess Bride was definitely on my mind as I wrote this, I think. And yes, it was a worry, that I'd go too far in that direction, lean too heavily. But I feel that for mythic storytelling in particular, this style adds quite a bit.

Speaking of the molten core of Earth, and in it, merged trolls swim. Same for the Sun, or the Sun's core - that bit is ambiguous on purpose.

Glad you liked the idea. Ideas are easier, it's the execution of that game that needed some more work, but it was designed for a 24 hour contest or so, so it made sense.
