(note: this is my first story game. I've been on this site for a couple years, and I couldn't find a game with a too-similar premise. If you have any ideas, especially from some of the more experienced creators on this site I'd love to hear them!) present day nerd in their basement- a degree in medieval history, without another notable achievement to his name. However, you find a small website run by an man who claims to know one of the greatest secrets of the ancient world. The last known copy of the formula for Damascus steel.

you know i found a perfect meme for all the characters and there all valentines cards. They're all puns except for matthias who just says "you're all terrible"

edit- i'm actually re-reading the series now after the grisha trilogy, seeing the more subtle points.

I know right!? Have you read crooked kingdoms yet?

good book, has a good "bank robbery" feel.
