I didn't read the God-Machine Chronicle in full, though I plan to. I've used the God-Machine many times in my stories, however, it's a fantastic concept.
Amazing coherence, that card with that Rune! Well, figures, thus works the Narrative, hahahahaha. Yeah, now the concept of simulation means something completely different to me.
It really is, it's in a few of my storylines now as well XD just have to start my games up again x_x
