is the original histories of nations that are being carried over? (In
other words, only the names are the same)
This is crucially important, as the old ASVS STGOD they're talking
about reviving reminds me of a Level 20 D&D campaign - the
kind where the characters are demigods and could kill half the
planet's population before breakfast for fun if they wanted to

It might be fun for the old hands who control aforementioned level
20 players, but for us level 1 players, no..
