Shit, forgot I have to make one of these.
So I decided, in the end, to revisit Broken Chains. Why? Because worldbuilding is far harder than plundering Roman history, bastardizing it, and turning it into a fantasy setting. Also, it's a crapsack world in and of itself; that is, if you consider slavery and men fighting for people's amusement to be a shitty thing to do.
It's done. That's my progress report. It's fucking done.
