Very belated praise for a great story. Your ability to wring pathos an emotion out of terse prompts is incredible. (I know you've said this game has good prompts, but still!)
I would definitely read the further adventures of Facula Albedo!
That is a crap-ton of books. I knew it was a lot, but it is A LOT!!!

For anyone curious about the 1980s AD&D game books, I will shamelessly pimp my two threads and perhaps get the impetus to finish the trilogy...

Would our hypothetical collector want the Paizo Pathfinder magazines, back when they were D&D and not, umm, Pathfinder? Or those don’t count because not WotC published?
Honestly? 4eD&D. Both XCOM EU/EW and XCOM2 combat feel very much like 4e combat. You could map many of the XCOM abilities directly to encounter or daily powers.
