[Davesprite eyes him, though his sunglasses veil it. Enoch's exact thought process is beyond him and it would be a derailment to ask. It wouldn't change anything, in the end.]
It's cool. But okay, you've got your group of players, they enter the game and have their own lands, et cetera. But each player also has their own title, and that's what's important here. Your title has your class and your aspect and basically shapes your role in the game. I was the Knight of Time, for instance. Every session needs a Time player and Space player if it's going to be successful. And the Space player is the one who's on frog duty. The lands are themed, right? Like I said, mine was Heat and Clockwork, but our Space player Jade's was the Land of Frost and Frogs. So it was her job to use this equipment the game supplied for a process called ectobiology.
She could explain it better than me, but it's like... You've got this machine and you can point it at a specific frog and try to summon or appearify it to where you are. Except if that frog's going to be doing something else in the future, say you're gonna go out and catch it yourself in person, then actually appearifying it would fuck up the timeline. So instead what shows up is this stuff called paradox slime. And somehow that's got that particular frog's genetic code in it. From there it's like, trying to breed frogs out of the slime by combining it or nudging the genetic code the right direction and stuff like that? Until eventually you get the Genesis Frog, AKA your brand new universe.
