Oh, I wasn’t trying to be self-deprecating with my “diet” comment! On the contrary, I’m pleased to have projects I’ve overseen go on to greater things! (Even if I prefer the diet version personally.)
And I think what’ll be best for V2 of Ascendant for Palpatine is what we’ve already done, just working out a few of the kinks of the plot mechanics without radically altering them. But I reiterate, I would genuinely like to see these ideas be developed in the main TROS ideas thread and coalesce into something.
