How it begins

An intense reader, you've been finally ejected from Stregoicavar Public Library at closing time. Now you stand on the library steps, wondering where to go; home isn't promising, since your last reading light burned out. You're carrying a paper bag (closed) and a book (closed).

Notable features

The game is inspired by a number of Robert E. Howard stories.
The status line cryptically describes the PC's current mental state. As the game begins, "A segment of your brain is atrophied".
