Today's Topic – Welcome J.B. to the forge

A stellar student in high school and college, Mr. Lion always had a knack for creative and professional writing. Those traits would come in handy as he spent most of his adult years a project manager, travelling the world implementing transit technology.

During this time, he never stopped writing short stories which he kept in several notebooks over a span of 15 years.

The game centered around three different societies, each one trying to outmaneuver one another for control of the universe.
