Quotes (from this video)
- the color of the potions do in fact matter
- there's lots of different little pieces that you can use and you can use them kind of add them into the game one at a time if you want to kind of experience each one on its own and then eventually put them all in have a mega game of mergence of magic
- this is preview so everything is subject to change
- it's a very full rich experience at that point it's no longer a simple roll and write game it's now a whole thing
